Lupins

Lupins was inspired by my travel encounters in New Zealand's South Island. Out of all the countries I have traveled to in the world, I consider New Zealand to have the most beautiful, stunning landscapes. Driving for miles on an open road in the foothills of Wanaka, we stumbled upon gorgeous purple lupins set underneath a beautiful blue sky. Lupins only have their peak bloom period for about 5 weeks each year, and we were were lucky to have experienced them during that time (christmas time). Technically, lupins are considered weeds, but they definitely are the most beautiful weeds I have ever seen. I was so moved by this experience, I decided to make a few paintings inspired by their color palette!
