I've been fascinated by all the artists I'm following on Instagram these days who so freely share their work and brighten my day as I'm scrolling through.
I'm super grateful for their inspiration and I love how running across some of their images on Instagram gives me so much pleasure.
They have become some of my favorite people to follow. :-)
I've decided to start featuring a few here on my blog, so you can follow them too or maybe even add a piece of original art to your collection!
Today, I'm excited to share this wonderful artist I discovered there, Jean Marie Bucich.
Poesia in pink, Artist, Jean Marie Bucich, oil painting 68 x 80
What most impressed me about her work was the scale at which she paints these beautiful flowers. She really brings them to life, creating so much depth and detail.
At this scale, these pieces would really wake up a room! I can see a piece like this over a sofa or king sized bed.
With all our open plan houses here in Texas, we don't have many walls, but the walls we do have are huge! This is the kind of art that would make a statement and add some real life and color to a home.

“My painting technique involves the Old Master processes of imprimatura and the layering of glazes, in combination with blending opaque brushstroke, creating a ‘push and pull’ of depth and light. My goal is to focus on my interest in the subject matter, while bringing forward a contemporary presence through concept and scale.” – Jean Marie
