These tiny purple flowers were closest to the grass in the flower field when I was painting. They might have been overlooked for the more colorful reds and pinks beyond, were it not for the hot sun which kept me coming back to the edge of the field for shade. Black petunia pigment was added as a finishing touch to the composition, and can be seen in the blues layered on top of the delicate stems, as if to hint at the coolness of the shade.
 
This artwork is part of the July 2024 ‘To the Woods’ collection. The series is filled with the buzzing humming energy of full summer. This energy surrounded me each time I sat down to paint. For this series I worked almost exclusively outdoors, in the flower fields around the Wood’s Market Garden farmstand as well as in some of my favorite fields near Middlebury, Vermont. Bees often landed on my canvas looking for pollen amongst the colors. I hope these paintings remind you of these full bustling days of summer, even when they have given way to the stillness of quieter seasons.
