Badger and the Purple Cone Flowers is a striking original painting that captures the spirit of the wild in a maximalist forest scene. The badger, standing tall and proud, gazes off into the distance, holding a stunning bouquet of purple cone flowers (echinacea) draped around her neck like a necklace woven by nature itself. The vibrant purple flowers contrast beautifully against the soft greens of the prairie, where intricate details of plants, leaves, insects, and beetles peek out, bringing the scene to life.

Perched delicately on her ear is a dragonfly, adding a touch of magic to this wild moment. In the background, a tree stump formed from vintage papers evokes a sense of time passed and nature’s resilience. The work is rendered in acrylics, chalk, pencil, and oil pastel, with carefully layered vintage paper ephemera that adds texture and depth to the piece.

Measuring 16x20” on a wrapped canvas, this painting embodies a sense of wonder, connection to nature, and the beauty found in the smallest of details.
