Sky Pilot

Since most of my paintings are pink and purple (like most flowers), I try to branch out and find flowers in other colors, like blue. The photograph I used was taken by my dad. He has many books on flowers and can usually tell you the name of any flower you find, so I look to him to tell me. Well, I had no idea what this flower was so I emailed him and asked him. He promptly emailed me back "Why Kristine, I'm surprised that you don't know what that flower is…it's a BLUE flower". HA! At last I had him stumped, but not for long. He looked in his books for several hours and found that it is a "Polemonium" which has various other names, one of which is "Sky Pilot." I liked that better than Polemonium. It is framed with an antiqued gold frame and floated in a black linen mat. The framed size is 35x42.
