Blue Cornflowers in Royal Blue and Turquoise Background - Morning Bloom - Cornflower Edition

The visual

Two large cornflowers occupy the foreground, their petals spread in a range of royal blue and lavender blue. The heart of each flower reveals touches of gold and sand that warm the whole. A black line sketched, almost calligraphic, redraws the contours of the petals with an assumed graphic energy. In the background, areas of turquoise and beige cream are juxtaposed in wide textured bands, reminiscent of a freehand painted canvas. Stems of deep green and elongated leaves anchor the composition towards the bottom of the painting. A closed bud, discreet on the right, brings balance to the scene. The whole combines vegetal realism and pictorial abstraction in a resolutely contemporary style.
