Piece description from the artist
One early morning, while I was riding my bike along a country road, out at the bottoms, I saw this colorful field of wild mustard. Past the mustard, the view extended out to the west. The ocean was just behind the ridge, close enough to smell it in the cool breeze.
It was a very inspiring scene, and since then, I have painted quite a few canvases inspired by wildflowers growing in the cattle pastures in this area. For this painting, my goal was to convey, to the viewer, a sense of standing in the Mustard flowers, looking out, seeing, and sensing the vastness and distance.
The natural world and her love for animals inspire Dara Daniel's Acrylic on canvas, mixed-media paintings. She combines bold colors and shapes and lots of textures to create fun, playful interpretations of horses and other animal spirits.
For all her paintings, she combines all the available elements of design to express rhythms and energy and moods and emotion. Dara explains, "Each painting experience is unique yet, my goal for all my paintings is to capture a degree of nature's passionate spirit, joy, and beauty."
