Northern Flowers, Northern Birds series
"Northern Spring, Journey" is a mixed media collage on fine art paper, a beautiful floral piece that captures the essence of springtime. The artwork combines watercolor, gouache, and pencil techniques, resulting in a layered and textured surface. Pieces of a U.S. Geological Survey map add unique detail and a sense of place.
Inspired by a move from Washington, D.C. to rural Maine, this contemporary, figurative artwork expresses the warmth and light of spring. The artist uses yellow to evoke the season, building up layers of color to create depth and intensity. Narcissus flowers, a classic symbol of spring, take center stage in the composition.
The engaging size of this mixed media piece makes it ideal for creating a focal point on a gallery wall or adding a touch of natural beauty to a smaller area. The combination of fluidity and detailed structure invites closer inspection, offering new discoveries each time you view it.
