Lupines, Jericho Park
Lupines, Jericho Park 10" x 8"
I had a bit of trouble with this painting but after sitting with it for a week, I don’t mind it so much. I often struggle with paintings where both the foreground and background are full of complicated shapes. I had to keep reminding myself to simplify and not to paint every leaf and blade of grass.
These lupines grow in a wild field in Jericho Park. In June, it is a lovely sea of purple and you can hear a steady buzz of happy bees.

Love this painting – right now, I think all our hearts are longing or spring and green and lupins!
Thanks Helen! And congratulations on becoming a member of the CSPWC! You certainly deserve it.
