Wildflowers - 48X24 Acrylic on Canvas - Hyacinth Paul

Wildflowers is a painting done to depict the colors of wildflowers in a desert that grow with reckless abandonment with the arrival of spring.  I am an avid gardener and love the beauty of the natural world.  I have been travelling since I was 56 days old!  I'm told I have gypsy dust on my feet.  People tell me that when they travel with me they need a vacation after the vacation!  This is only because I want want to take it all in!  I am so in love with our planet that the beauty of simple things never cease to amaze me.  I capture a lot in my minds eye and some on my camera.  Now that I have rekindled my passion to paint, I just paint in reckless abandonment and see what comes of it!  Not all of my paintings are perfect, but I leave them a bit imperfect only because I think they are done!  Sometime you will see a bit of canvas exposed and sometimes the paint may be not as thick, but that is intentional.  There is so much beauty in wildflowers.  They just come back every year to enthrall us.  The tease us with their splendor and vanish in no time at all.  It is the lucky among us who get to take in the beauty if they care.

My blog is really a collection of my thoughts on the effect of  color in art on the health and well being of society.  This initial study  will help me get seed data upon which other studies will be based upon.  If you fill out this questionnaire and send it in to [email protected] you will be entered to win an original painting of mine on November 30, 2020.  If you sign up for my monthly newsletter you can stay abreast of news pertaining to my study, my art and some ideas that form food for thought.

The predominant colors in this artwork are blue and green in its various shades with a touch of pink, yellow.  The size of the artwork is relevant for a cozy nook.  If you prefer a larger size, I recommend buying a print from the site that allows for purchasing several items not just prints.  Also, sales of any of the items help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as 100% of the profits are donated until Jun 5, 2020 and 25% thereafter.

Please note that the sale of this original art will generate funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help raise money for cancer research.  I was introduced to the work of LLS in 2017.  This organization that has climbed up 30 points in one year on the Forbes charity navigator.  It is run by highly competent scientists and physicians who I have personally met.  They believe they can cure cancer within our lifetime, and I agree.  Study and look at the progress they have made since their inception nearly 70 years ago! The cure rate of blood cancers in 1960, the year I was born, was 3%.  Today it is 94%. 

The research continues to happen at a feverish pace all over the world to bridge that gap.  I raise money for Aparna who sadly lost her fight to cancer.  We are losing many more as we speak whose lives have been cut short by these dreadful diseases.  Just within the last week we have lost two of the greats, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, to this deadly disease.  Every life is precious.  It is our responsibility to help fund the fight and propel discoveries.  We are the product of such discoveries.  We enjoy a longer life expectancy because of the discoveries of people who came before us.  I am a product of scholarships that were provided to me when I was a young, bright-eyed, enthusiastic PhD student who put in nearly 15 hours a day toward research.  So I ask you unabashedly, on behalf of these scholars who toil, to help find those discoveries that will finally beat cancer.
