Lupines Abound in Maine

Almost overnight Maine fields and roadsides come alive with waving stems of lupines. Flowering stems of royal purple, lavender, pink, and electric blues rise up 2 feet or so above the grasses and ground covers forming swathes of brilliant color. You will see some in private gardens, but their real beauty is evidenced in the fields where the blue hues are contrasted against carpets of yellow buttercups.

Working to bring these magnificent flowers to life on a canvas was a delight. I choose a 16x20 cradled clayboard and worked  primarily with a knife mixing the paint on the board.
