Detailed description

Picture "Poppies in the rain" (2022)

This watercolor was created on an evening with rain showers. At one point the rain was so heavy that the watercolor had to be taken inside for a short time. The raindrops left interesting marks on the painting and it was a challenge to paint in this weather. Next to the bright red poppy flower is a pink blossom. Some buds, still green, are leaning downwards. The flowers are surrounded by bright green leaves. Pale violet night violets are hinted at in the background. A path, a boulder and the green/brown water of the pond can be seen on the right of the picture. 300gr Centennaire laid paper served as the painting ground. The picture is mounted on a white passe-partout board measuring 60x80 cm. The signature is on the front.

About Ute Meyer

I was born in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, in 1957 and grew up in Husum on the west coast.
I have had my studio in Flensburg on the east coast since the nineties. In the eighties I completed a degree in art education. Since the beginning of 2000 I have been showing my work nationally and internationally at exhibitions, fairs and in galleries. My paintings can be found with collectors at home and abroad. One of my main focuses is plein air painting. I work in my own garden or at the Danish Baltic Sea. Over the years, I have developed a way of working outdoors that enables me to finish large-format canvases in one go and capture the mood of the day. The constantly changing weather and light conditions influence, delay or accelerate my painting process and composition. This style of painting is about capturing the immediate impression, mood or atmosphere of the scene in a fresh and intuitive way, much like a musician sight-reading a piece of music. Other series of works, such as macro studies of the beach or people and animals in the landscape, are created in my studio. In abstract painting, the starting points are experiences from her daily life. Oil on canvas or wood, washed pen drawings and watercolor are my means of expression.
