Blue Cornflowers Blue Indigo and Cream Painting - Spring Picking - Cornflower Edition

The visual

Two large cornflowers occupy the composition, painted in deep indigo blue and highlighted with touches of sky blue . The ivory cream background allows the petals with torn shapes, treated with lively and expressive gestures close to watercolor, to breathe. The olive stems and still closed buds bring a natural balance to the whole. The heart of the flowers, darker, reveals touches of violet and black which accentuate the depth. The light seems to come from the light background, making each shade of blue stand out with intensity. The vertical, slightly asymmetrical composition guides the eye from top to bottom of the canvas. The whole gives an impression of movement, as if the wind had just crossed the bouquet.
