Good Morning. This painting brought some early sunshine into my morning. What a delightful, dancing array of color. Give my love to Luralee!
ReplyDeleteNice to see Luralee exhibiting her work. What a happy painting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Luralee on her show at BBArtCenter.
ReplyDeleteWeeping Willow #6 looks amazing. The willow is such a favorite tree of mine, especially in the spring when the piercing green electrifies the landscape. And I love your commentary about imagining to be a little creature peering out.
This painting is vibrant, and needs a large, light space to honor it. I've always loved willows and this is a great two dimensional tribute.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is vibrant and needs a large, light space to honor it. I have always loved willows, so this work is a great commentary in two dimensions. Thanks for sharing it on the web!
ReplyDeleteWow! Luralee's paintings are beautiful! As an avid gardener, I think it's great to see such vibrant semi-abstracts that are botanically inspired. I have seen some of her work in person. The colors are amazing, and the compositions make me imagine myself as some small woodland creature peeping through the branches. Very cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love how Luralee has maintained her style over the years while producing ever-fresh work. It's not only the vivid colors in their combinations that are appealing, but also the shapes that contain the myriad hues. Really nice. Hope to see them in person some day.
