"Cindi Mullins' floral paintings are a riot of color and masterful paint application. Close cropped and brought to the foreground of the picture plane, these seductive images portray recognizable botanical specimens while their impasto brushwork brings them to the verge of abstraction." - Gabriel de Guzman, Wave Hill Public Garden Curator, NYC

This is the first painting done of the second set of Merritt Parkway paintings, so I was indeed, "On the Road Again." Willy Nelson is in my vocabulary here. Cars are peeking out at us as well as going in the other direction. While this may be about many things, it's also about continuity, perseverance, connectivity and our path.

I have painted this scene three times. I got very interested in the abstract shapes that are reflected in the water!

I enjoy doing these "thousand flowers" and tapestry-like paintings. They allow me lots of room for considered composition, color play and delight.

This little Ridgefield water trough was designed to water horses and there is a little lower area for dogs to quench their thirst, too. It was presented to the town by Life Magazine founder John Ames Mitchell who lived on West Lane. Originally placed on the corner of Main and Catooah Streets, once automobiles made the scene, it was moved to its current location at West and Olmstead Lanes.

I am inspired by Nigella in this painting; I love the stick-like leaves and whirling petals and the stamens that shoot out like little floral fireworks.

This from Wikipedia:
"Millefleur, ... French for a thousand flowers, refers to a background style of many different small flowers and plants, usually shown on a green ground, as though growing in grass." I have done a few of these and love making the small leaves and flowers collectively creating a showy carpet of shape and color.

I am in love with and inspired by the flower Nigella. I love their showy stamens and stick-like leaves. So much fun to do this painting!

This is the third Nigella painting. I am still in love with this flower and all it offers as inspiration for a dynamic and intriguing painting.

These flowers are moving, rotating, dancing in space creating their own unique, small universe.
