Mckenna Prather Loretta Acrylic 72"x48"

Loretta is a vibrant bouquet of Rose, Peony, Gerber Daisy, Ranunculus and Poppy flowers. A variety of painting styles are showcased within this arrangement. While some flowers are realistically rendered, other flowers like the soft yellow daisy are flatly painted. Some are more graphic, like the lavender coloured rose, and a very obviously different flower is the boldly patterned orange and black Pansy. Tucked into the bouquet is a striped cream ribbon, that blends in with the draping of greenery around each flower. This painting takes a whimsical approach to representing an abundant bouquet through its bright colour palette, size and collage style. By layering several styles of a commonly represented subject matter, this painting feels fresh and contemporary.
