Enjoy painting Summer’s bounty of flora and insects. Celebrate the season’s growth and life around you with vibrant colors and unique shapes while designing your personal composition. Find creativity and blossoming expression within Burchfield’s unique perspective on flowers, plants, birds, insects, and weather. You might even paint the feeling of trilling insects vibrating the air, blowing wind, or splashing warm summer rain.
