Vibrance

Vibrant colors as they intermingle in a vase of flowers makes for an interesting subject. Set against a background of abstract colors makes it that much more alive to me. This painting is on a wood panel and allowed me to smoothly lay out the background colors side by side to create an interesting drapery of different hues. The flowers are done with a palette knife impasto, so it is thicker textured to give it a greater dimension and relief.
