WILDFLOWERS SERIES

by artist David Lyon

“A decorative, joyful response to the subject matter using brightly coloured oil pastel and crayon.”  

"The organic shapes and forms of the ‘Wildflowers’ series are drawn and painted to create intensely colourful images that have areas of detail contrasted with open areas of pure colour and texture.  A surface history is created by manipulating the qualities of acrylic paint. Layer upon layer results in a surface that conceals and reveals glimpses of colourful, organic shapes, lines and textures; a decorative, joyful response to the subject matter.

“These paintings use the colours, shapes and forms of wild flowers, the often overlooked beauty of the everyday and the commonplace.”
