Valley of Flowers and transport to take you there!

     On one of my previous works, Kim Rempel had made a statement, 'There are no lines in nature, just color next to color'. Found the statement very interesting. Poppies are lovely flowers, are colorful and a vast expanse can make fascinating viewing. It was a lovely subject to explore the statement with. This painting was made without any planning, without any drawing and without actually referring to the reference photo. Just one glance and thereafter the aviator in me took off! Just kept placing blobs after blobs of color on the canvas. This work was a real adventure! Thanks Kim.
     And yes, my seven year old son also seems to be taking off after his Dad. His latest work has been transmitted across the globe all the way from India, online. Am posting it here and am really proud of him.

    I too thought about that statement and thought about applying it to a "flower cart" watercolor I did a while back - I never liked it because it was too structured. Your painting is fun and vibrant. I love a great drawing and usually appreciate planning, but in this case, it really works.

    The poppies are very striking in this one AK. and you've captured the feeling of distance. I think that your blobs could have been a little smaller in the top left corner though, maybe sort of blurring into a solid.

    Your son's lorry is marvelous, your skill has definitely rubbed off on him.
