Artwork Description:

Title: Cornflowers Meadow

This is a vibrant and splashy celebration of gorgeous blue cornflowers!

I love using blue inks – the colour always makes me happy (yes – not blue at all!…)

Inspired by my garden in June, these flowers are accompanied by spires of rich purple toadflax and shy little pink herb robert flowers nestling in the meadow grasses.

I “painted” this on A4 Yupo paper using alcohol based ink pens with splashes of 91% isopropyl alcohol to create the flow and movement within this piece.

I hope you like this as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Artist Bio:

My name’s Karen Johnson and I'm the Derby based artist behind Millie Moth. Inspired by my wild garden, my work falls into 2 styles - one uses alcohol inks to paint vibrant flowers, and the other is created digitally using elements of my paintings, drawings and isolated photographic images. My work is full of colour and I aim to convey the happiness I feel when I’m around flowers and foliage. There is such a wealth of life in every small growing space and I try to capture that beauty and vigour by injecting a little wildness and joy into every piece.
