The Sound of Summer

The Sound of Summer is inspired by the renowned Piet Oudolf, this large canvas captures the essence of an imagined wildflower meadow in its fullest glory.

The name itself, "The Sound of Summer," resonates with the warmth and vibrancy of the season. Imagine a hot day where the air shimmers with an otherworldly quality, where sounds seem to dance and mingle in the breeze. Here, the gentle hum of bumblebees and the delicate flutter of butterfly wings transport you to a realm of pure tranquility.

Inspired by the captivating planting techniques of Piet Oudolf, the artist skillfully weaves together a tapestry of hues and textures. Echinacea pallida blooms stand tall amidst the verdant undergrowth, their delicate petals casting a soft, white glow. In the distance, lilac and blue flowers shimmer under the golden light, casting a mesmerising spell on the landscape.

The technique employed by the artist is reminiscent of the great Impressionists, each brushstroke applied to create a scene that irradiates light. The pointillist manner in which the ears of corn and distant blooms are rendered adds a sense of depth and to the composition.

Time stands still, and the beauty of nature is supreme. this painting invites you to immerse yourself in the boundless wonder of the natural world and escape from the real world.
