"Walking in the Wildflowers"
In the early spring, wildflowers in Colorado whisper in colors of pale
yellow, apricot and baby blue. By the time summer starts they are
shouting, crimsons and harsh whites scattered among the brilliant blues
and magentas of columbines.
Walking through the vivid green backdrop of scrub pines and undergrowth
of Colorado’s high desert, Laura Reilly’s paintings take you on a hike
of a rainbow of lupines, forget-me-nots and the fire-orange glow of
scarlet globe mallow.
“Walking Through Wildflowers” opens at Laura Reilly Fine Art Gallery and
Studio on June 5th and continues through the end of June. -
