Detailed description

Picture "Sunflowers" (2016)

This picture was taken in my garden in August. The bright yellow flowers, one fully blossomed, the others with lowered flower heads, are leaning towards the sun. The foliage and stems are strong. Their bright yellow stands out against the dark green of the vegetation. In the foreground, small, delicate white rose blossoms entwine around an arch. The warm summer light is captured impressionistically. My brushstrokes are impasto and expressionistic. The painting shows a summer afternoon in the garden with light and shadow, fragile and powerful plants. The canvas is hand-stretched, primed four times and fitted with a steel wire for hanging. My 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 pictures 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.
