Queen Anne's Lace and chicory in a summer meadow — the white umbels of the carrot flower at different stages of opening and closing, the blue chicory providing the chromatic counterpoint, the whole composition built from grasses and stems weaving through one another against a soft blue-green summer background. This is one of Glen's most atmospheric and loosely handled wildflower compositions: the summer meadow rendered as atmosphere and suggestion as much as botanical precision, the flowers luminous and half-dissolved in light.
Glen painted roadside wildflower communities — the mixed-species assemblages that grow along Ontario back roads in July — with the awareness of someone who had stopped to look at them carefully. This meadow wildflower study is one of his most summery and evocative botanical works.

A lovely depiction of a favorite wildflower. I was married in August 1983 and went out into the fields with my mom to pick this very flower for vases at my reception. I will treasure this.
Linda, my apologies for the slow reply.
I read this one twice. Queen Anne's Lace is one of the pieces people respond to most strongly, and I have never been able to fully explain why. Your review explains it. It is a flower people have actually stood in a field and picked, usually with someone they loved.
August 1983, with your mother, for the vases at your reception. Thank you for telling us.
I hope it hangs somewhere you pass often.

The print was much more faded than I imagined. Even a good frame will not make the print more attractive. You have to stand 30 feet away to like it.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is important to receive any good or bad review, as it helps us be better and offer products that meet our high standards. As my father looks over the prints when they are added to the store, I wonder if your order may have had issues during the printing process. I sent you an email earlier about this, and I look forward to working with you to get to the bottom of this. I want to be sure that all my customers are happy when they order online and issues get resolved so there is a clear understanding of what went wrong. Regards, Michael Loates | Founder
