This Collage-Painting of a garden filled with Columbine has a poured paint background. The flowers are created using cut paper with organic inclusions, string for the stamen and acrylic paint for the details.
Somehow simple and elaborate at the same time, the Columbine is a cheerful greeting in my spring garden. It is the state flower of Colorado, my home. A climber discovered it on Pike's Peak, and meaning has been attributed to the colors: blue represents the sky, white represents snow, and yellow symbolizes Colorado's gold mining history. I guess you could say the Columbine is a little treasure itself!
Most of my artwork is based on the flowers I grow in my yard, and I am proud to grow many things that are native to Colorado. I grow these flowers in my garden, photograph them (or sometimes hire a friend to help with photos!) and use them as inspiration for my artwork. This piece, “Columbine #2" was created in my signature style of collage-painting.
I work on wood panels. First, I poured fluid acrylic paints in a variety of earthy colors, creating an abstract but organic background that really looks and feels like a forest or garden setting. I cut the petals out of various art papers and rendered minute details in acrylic paint. I made the stamen of the flower by tying string, dipping it in paint and gluing it to the surface.
This Columbine looks perfect alone or as part of a set. Look for Columbine #1-5 and choose the combination that you love most. The original is 10 x 10 x 1.5” and comes wired and ready to hang. These pictures take are very labor intensive, but it is a labor of love. I hope you enjoy the flowers as much as I do!
