This painting was inspired by my drive to Louisana to see my friend Natalie. The miles of wildflowers captured my imagination. I loved the splattered colors that spilled over to each other. I loved the bright colors against the green background.
These colors though come from Texas. The blue is reminscent of Texas Blue Bonnets, the state flower. The orange reminds me of the Indian Paint Brush. I never could find the name of the bright yellow flowers that bloom. But the purple/crimson is Crimson Clover.
The flowers bloom in the Spring. A Texas tradition is to go get your Easter pictures in a field of Blue Bonnets, or other wild flowers. Here I have a Cross to represent the real reason behind Easter!
