La carotte sauvage et la chicorée dans une prairie estivale — les ombelles blanches de la fleur de carotte à différents stades d'ouverture et de fermeture, la chicorée bleue offrant le contrepoint chromatique, l'ensemble de la composition construit à partir d'herbes et de tiges s'entremêlant sur un doux fond estival bleu-vert. C'est l'une des compositions de fleurs sauvages les plus atmosphériques et les plus librement exécutées de Glen : la prairie estivale rendue comme une atmosphère et une suggestion autant que comme une précision botanique, les fleurs lumineuses et à moitié dissoutes dans la lumière.
Glen peignait les communautés de fleurs sauvages en bordure de route — les assemblages d'espèces mixtes qui poussent le long des routes secondaires de l'Ontario en juillet — avec la conscience de quelqu'un qui s'était arrêté pour les observer attentivement. Cette étude de fleurs sauvages de prairie est l'une de ses œuvres botaniques les plus estivales et évocatrices.

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
