Out of the Blue

Bold, dramatic, and impossible to ignore — Out of the Blue is a striking floral work painted on cradled canvas, requiring no frame and ready to hang as-is. Marian prepared the surface with great intentionality: black watercolor ground was applied to the outer areas to create a deep, moody border, while transparent watercolor ground in the center allows the vivid floral colors to glow from within. The result is a high-contrast painting with rich, luminous hues that seem to emerge from the darkness. This modern square format piece works beautifully in contemporary and transitional interiors alike.
