Painting a Daisy Bouquet from Life: Embracing Nature’s Vibrant Contrasts

In this recent video, I explore the dynamic beauty of a daisy bouquet painted from life. The inspiration for this piece came from a moment of deep connection with nature during a summer storm—those intense, powerful colors that arise from the energy of the storm’s atmosphere. I let this influence guide my artistic choices, adding striking contrasting colors to the gentle daisy blooms. The juxtaposition of soft florals against deep, storm-inspired hues makes the bouquet come to life in a bold and unexpected way.

Using vivid brushstrokes, I focused on capturing the fleeting essence of the flowers, layering contrasts that reflect the transformative power of nature. Watch the video to see how these choices unfold on the canvas, revealing the beauty in opposites—delicate petals against intense shades. This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of color, energy, and floral expression.
