Nolan Prescott painted this one on a hot afternoon in mind. A cascade of magenta-red bougainvillea tumbles over a terracotta courtyard wall, its thin branches arching out toward a small round stone well below. Fallen petals scatter across the warm tile floor, and a clay tile roof peeks in at the top corner against a bit of blue sky.
The brushwork is thick and confident, very much in his vibrant modern impressionism. Slanted shadows of leaves and stems streak across the orange plaster in strokes of violet and blue, and the sunlit patches glow almost gold. This bougainvillea wall art is all about light hitting a quiet wall at just the right moment.
It's for anyone who misses a garden in Oaxaca or a patio in San Miguel, or who just loves bold flowers and warm color. Gardeners, travelers, and fans of painterly texture will feel right at home with it.
As canvas wall art, it brings sun into a dining room, a breakfast nook, an entryway, or a living room with clay, wood, and woven pieces. It also pairs well with the rest of the Mexican Cantina Table collection.
