Blue Cornflowers Blue-Mauve Stems Olive Green - Field Bouquet - Cornflower Edition

The visual

This botanical composition features a bouquet of cornflower flowers spread across the entire height of the painting. The corollas display a gradation of mauve and pale lavender, with darker hearts tending towards deep violet. The fine stems, painted in olive green and greyed green, intertwine naturally, punctuated by buds still closed in sand color. The chalky ivorybackground, almost textured, accentuates the lightness of the whole. The style recalls botanical plates, with a fine rendering close to watercolor. The light seems to come from the front, without a marked shadow, which highlights each petal. The balance between open flowers and buds creates a harmonious visual rhythm from top to bottom of the canvas.
