"Northern Spring, Bloom"," Watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, and mixed media on Arches paper.
Inspired by van Gogh's vibrant floral paintings, "Northern Spring, Bloom" is a joyful mixed media collage that captures the essence of the season. This original artwork combines watercolor, colored pencil, gouache, and graphite on fine art paper, showcasing a unique blend of textures. The influence of a move to rural Maine is evident in the artwork's celebration of nature's beauty.

The vase is rendered with carefully drawn graphite lines, creating a striking contrast to the colorful, painted blossoms. The blossoms are mounted to add dimension, bursting from the surface in three corners. The artist masterfully uses layers of color to highlight the abundance of spring, setting the lively blooms against the black and white graphite drawing.

This small, colorful piece is perfect for adding a touch of contemporary style to any room. Whether displayed in a cozy nook or as part of a gallery wall, "Northern Spring, Bloom" will bring the freshness of spring into your home year-round.
