Seven foot flowers? Um, yes please! I am completely in love with these big, beautiful, blooms {acrylic on canvas} by Canadian artist Bobbie Burgers. Nothin’ like some confident brush strokes, a few stunning color choices, and a giant canvas to transform a traditional subject into a contemporary masterpiece. Gorgeous! Oh, and if you’re in Toronto you can see her work at Bau-Xi Gallery, April 18 ~ 30.
{I had to include a few of those shots with Bobbie in her studio, just to show the fabulous scale of these pieces. Oh boy. I think I might want to stretch a giant canvas for the first time in YEARS.}
I am SWOONING over here!!! Wowza! I am SO drawn to flowers right now – smelling them, photographing them, drawing them, and, well swooning over other people’s extraordinary paintings of them!
i know! i’m all about flowers these days too… and bobbie’s work actually makes me want to paint again… which is kind of a miracle.
I have another new favorite artist!
Thank you for the post! So great to see, painting large let’s happy accidents happen and non formulatic emotion be included- my exhibit opens this week in Toronto, it’s a big relief to see my babies flying the coop- whew – that was a lot of energy

Wow. I love the colours. Her flowers bloom with dynamism and grace. They pop out of the painting like a punch but they have a motherly essence to which makes them sing. I love it. Absolutely stunning work.

Bobbie your work is candy for the eyes — both up-close and away. I get all wrapped up in the swirling colors, and delicious drips!
All these pretty floral posts! I am loving these big fat blooms and seriously…those paint drips are the cherry on top for me! I just found your blog and am loving your curator’s eye. xo
