"Tulip Dream," 24" x 24"

Mixed Media (Acrylic and Resin) on Gallery Depth Wood Panel. 

25" x 25" x 2" with white float frame included.

This piece was painted from a photo of the garden when the spring sunshine was warming up the days and the promise of a new year was in the air. It makes me dream of the warmer days and weather to come.

Elmira-based Canadian artist Melissa Passmore uses the power of colour in nature to invoke emotion and reflection of the moment at hand. A lack of background removes additional distraction and places the focus on the movement and light of the petals. She hopes that it highlights the beauty of a single moment in time that is there for us all if we endeavor to look for it.
