Ablaze with Wildflowers

May 3, 2023 Kevin Gleason Art

Ablaze– 48×48″ oil on canvas (Available)

The Botanic Garden meadow is glowing with flowers and humming with bees right now from all of the rains this past year. I’ve had a very large 4-foot-square canvas that I’ve been waiting to paint at some point and the excuse to cover it with saturated oranges and greens was irresistable. This one will fill the wall with a sunlit garden. I took some process photos for fellow artists out there who, like me, enjoy seeing the steps behind the scenes of how the painting was created. Basically I start with big shapes of color and break them up into smaller and smaller shapes.

Spring Colors– Botanic Gardens

8×10″ oil on canvas– The gardens are starting to dress up in their spring colors and the poppies are preparing to pop. I love this time of day there as the sun starts to fall and the shadows grow. I hope you all are out enjoying the warm weather!

Spring Greens

February 10, 2021 Kevin Gleason Art

Poppies are popping up in the meadow at the SB Botanic Gardens and even through a mask you can smell spring in the air. Valentines day is coming and the birds and the bees are doing what the birds and the bees do. Hopefully we can squeeze a little more rain from some passing clouds before the calendar pages slip through our fingers.
