This artwork by Lesley Friedmann, titled "Popping Poppies," is an acrylic painting on wood panel that vividly portrays the essence of the Pacific Northwest, specifically the artist's hometown, Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island. Friedmann finds inspiration in the lush, floral landscapes of her surroundings, which is clearly reflected in this piece.
The painting is a symphony of vibrant colors and dynamic textures, capturing the radiance and variety of poppies and wildflowers that bloom in the fields, set against the backdrop of rolling hills and dense forests. The artist has masterfully used layers of glaze to build up a textured surface, giving the painting a warm, inviting appearance that seems to glow from within.
Friedmann's technique showcases her skill in creating impressionistic, multilayered mosaic paintings that are rich in surface texture and bursting with life and color. The inclusion of arbutus trees and Gary oak meadows, which are native to southern Vancouver Island, adds a touch of authenticity and local charm to the artwork, anchoring it in the unique flora of the region. This piece is a testament to Friedmann's ability to transform the natural beauty of her environment into a captivating visual experience.
