Wildflowers 1 oil 36“ x 36“ by Isabelle Haran-Leonardi

I’ve been working on a series of paintings, inspired by some photographs given to me by my friend XMA .

Last summer while walking along the beach with her dogScout , she happened upon an abandoned house with a beautiful wildflower garden. I just learned that the old house has been knocked down and the garden dug up to make way for a new home.

Flowers are ,by their nature , ephemeral. I am glad that I had a chance to paint and appreciate their beauty.
