Modern Scandinavian Garden - Wild Weeds *SOLD


This Modern Scandinavian garden piece is another one inspired by my surrounding at my sister's house in Montana. She captured my hands drawing as I sat in her red chairs and admired all the fun things growing around her yard. We visited and enjoyed a cocktail as I sketched. It was a perfect evening.

I finished painting this piece when I returned home to Minnesota. Vibrant greens, warm yellows and hints of reds give this piece it's Scandinavian twist.

Every September I head to Montana to visit my sister and her family. Josie's gardens are filled with wonderful bright flower faces with lots of personality. Her house is in town but when you enter her back yard you feel like you are in your own magical space surrounded by borders of beautiful vines, bushes and flowers. I found plenty of drawing inspiration while visiting. 

This Sunflower has a lively and wild personality. Sunflower Style is a brushed acrylic ink painting on 140 lb. watercolor paper. It is professionally framed to a final size of 6.5" x 11.5".
