The Fourth of July 01, work in progress
June 20, 2008
The Fourth of July 01, 36H x 48W x 2D inches acrylics on canvas, wrapped sides painted, sturdy custom built stretcher frame. Work in progress. Rarely do I draw outlines to start paintings.. just start splashing paint in a frenzy around the canvas, responding to the subject matter.
Not only does the Orange Milkweed remind me of fireworks, but it was on July 4th last year that I stopped to photograph the vibrant wildflowers growing alongside the highways in Kentucky.

4th of July, indeed! What an explosion of color! on a very subtly controlled composition. This is just wonderful. Makes me want to drive to Kentucky and see for myself!

Hi V, thanks for the feedback. Yes, travel Kentucky, it’s so green in summer, and beautiful. I had only seen pink Milkweed before this. Wildflowers help make traveling long distances more pleasant!
