flowers in full bloom against a sea of glittering fireflies
Do you know that feeling as a child, chasing after fireflies as the sun disappeared over the horizon, stumbling upon beautiful treasures that couldn't quite fit in your pocket? The artist wanted to capture the pure serenity of that moment on canvas much like kids catch fireflies in a jar. She chose to start the painting with a blue and purple sky and an array of mountains that seem to go on forever. Next, she added in bold blue waters against a grassy shoreline that led to lovely lupins and vivid snapdragons in full bloom. To wrap all of these elements together, the beauty of this scene, she decided, was to be framed by a sea of glittering fireflies. She hopes you feel that childlike glee of seeing these wonders for the first time and never having to see that moment end again, perfectly preserved on canvas as a timeless piece of art.
