Field of Blue Bonnets - o/c 20.5" x 24.5"

 


What is the best way to describe fields of blue bonnets that grow along the rolling hills of Texas in the spring? "Poetry in Nature" perhaps? 

Often, words cannot capture the true beauty of these royal blue flowers that crown the grassy green landscape in western Texas mid-March into April every year.  Butterflies abound as they collect the sweet nectar. In April, when the wind gathers strength and blows the seeds across the hills, the following year will become even more bountiful in royal blue. "Poetry in Nature" perhaps does express Blue Bonnets best.  Thus, I created this painting in oil.
