Modern Scandinavian Columbine Blooms •SOLD





 I have been excited about working on this painting. I had the vision for it when the Columbine were blooming this spring. They modeled for me and I sketched my idea in paint. With summer and all the activity that comes with it I have spaced out my time - eager to keep working on it. Red is my favorite color and the intense reds of the Columbine spoke to me. I wanted to make the blooms extra large to keep with the over exaggerated feel of my other Modern Scandinavian pieces. I made the bird small to make the blooms feel even bigger. 

 Modern Scandinavian Columbine Blooms is an acrylic painting on stretched canvas with painted edges and cross braces. This piece is available at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN.  | 218-547-3729
