Oil on canvas Canvas: 48” x 36” Frame: 58.5” x 46.5”
Signed Lower Right: Kent R. Wallis
A Tuscan-style archway is adorned with a brilliant array of colorful flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple. The use of impasto creates a heavily textured canvas, allowing the colors to stand out with further vividness. A serene blue sky and fluffy white clouds peek out through the vibrant trees.
