Nicole Barrett built this flower one ring at a time. Blush pink, dusty blue and deep teal petals form the outer wheel, then come mustard, soft gray-blue and a muted sage, all circling a pale blue center ringed with tiny dots. Each petal is a flat block of colour, outlined in a thin rust line, with a few fine vein strokes painted in.
It's mandala wall art with a folk art flower painting at its heart. A slim sage stem rises from a rounded clay hill, two dusty blue leaves reaching out on either side. Behind the hill sit soft sand dunes and a small pale sun just peeking over, and the cream background is laid on in light strokes you can almost feel. The palette leans mid-century, gentle and a little earthy.
This is for anyone who loves a hand painted flower canvas with some pattern and rhythm to it. If arts and crafts style wall art, old quilt colours or seventies pottery make you happy, this one will feel familiar right away.
Its tall shape suits a narrow wall beside a bookcase, a spot above a dresser, or as floral wall art for bedroom walls. Printed as canvas wall art, it holds its own in a bigger size too, making a calm choice for large wall art for living room spaces.
