Summer Flowers

This lively abstract painting was featured recently at the Asheville Art Museum's "Asheville Strong" exhibition and captures the essence of a summer bouquet overflowing with color and movement. This was the last painting Alison completed before Hurricane Helene devastated WNC in September 2024. A bold red vase anchors the composition, brimming with expressive blooms painted in greens, purples, oranges, and yellows. Loose, gestural brushstrokes blur the line between flowers and background, creating a sense of vibrancy and abundance. The interplay of warm and cool tones infuses the canvas with energy, celebrating the joy and vitality of nature in full bloom.
