Oil and Cold Wax Medium on Canvas
36 x 24 inches
In this painting, I was thinking about the feeling of lying in the grass, staring up at the neighbor's lilacs hanging over the fence that my mom would cut for our kitchen, the smell filling the house. I wanted them to feel like you could reach up and grab them through the painting. I was also experimenting with how loose the brushstrokes are in the sky to represent clouds without adding fine details later on. This is the first painting that truly incorporated texture into the piece, focusing on materiality.
