"The Posies," 24" x 24"

Mixed Media (Acrylic and Resin) on Wood Panel.

Warm pinks and reds bring happiness and joy to these sumptuous ranunculi. Multi-layer petals unfold and overlap in a bouquet of joy.  This piece is acrylic paint topped with a glossy resin finish and sides painted to match the background colour for immediate hanging.

Elmira-based Canadian artist Melissa Passmoreuses 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.
