Blue Cornflowers and Greens in a Field - Summer Breath - Cornflower Edition

The visual

Several cornflowers unfold across the entire width of the canvas, each painted with fringed petals of a bright blue tending towards pastel mauve. The hearts of the flowers, darker, oscillate between bordeaux and deep brown, bringing a striking contrast point. The background, treated in blurred blocks of light green and cream, suggests touches of orange that evoke other wildflowers in the background. The pictorial technique, rich in visible impasto, gives relief to the petals while the thin stems and still-closed buds structure the composition. The light seems to come from above, illuminating the tops of the flowers and leaving the bases in a soft penumbra. The whole exudes a lively and natural sensation, close to watercolor in its transparency.
