Nantucket Poppies and Bachelors

This whimsical floral piece is a window to more than just this garden on Union Street near Nantucket’s quaint downtown area. A scene the artist claims eluded for years, this is visually and emotively characteristic of much of Lovely’s portfolio, from landscapes and gardens to the cameos made by colorful blooms in a majority of work. The title is intended to capture a spirit of brides and grooms, pairing the feminine poppies with bachelor buttons used regularly in boutonnieres. This playful pairing is mirrored in the pink and blue colors of blossoms, with a single, prominently placed red-petaled leader in the foreground. More than just her literal (signature) color, according to the artist the large red bloom is a tribute to Love.
