Flowers can be rendered in infinite ways ranging from realistic to funky. This elegant oil painting by Laurie Maurer Shelton (famed for her colorful cows in Napa) gives the eyes pleasure in any time of day, the chunky yet smooth texture and bold yet pastel colors evolving as the light changes, and looking alive in an otherworldly way. I am enamored with the way the artist has found a way to capture these colors inside forms that may seem simple, but are kinetic.
