I had the pleasure of working with Carolyn last season, and she brings so much inspiration, energy, kindness, and generosity to our local flower community. I had worked in flower shops for several years and it was  truly eye-opening &#8212; in the best way &#8212; to work at a local farm. Carolyn often describes her style as &#8216;floral chaos&#8217; because she loves combining colors and textures. I love it. To see more of her work, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snellfamilyfarm.com\/flowers\">https:\/\/www.snellfamilyfarm.com\/flowers<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carolyn.snell\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carolyn.snell\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I picked up this arrangement from her on June 10th and was blown over when I saw it. It was wonderful company in the studio. And I will admit to moving it around the house with me throughout the week as well. The abundance of poppies, lupines, alliums, ranunculus, and tree peonies tell the story of a particular moment in the season. The contrasting yellows and purples and sweeping shape speak to Carolyn&#8217;s training as a painter and inherent knowledge of plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Inflorescence_Carolyns_Arrangement_4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Inflorescence_Carolyns_Arrangement_4.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Inflorescence_Carolyns_Arrangement_4-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Inflorescence_Carolyns_Arrangement_5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Inflorescence_Carolyns_Arrangement_5.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Inflorescence_Carolyns_Arrangement_5-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I created one piece on a large piece of paper, that proved itself not large enough, so I added on more. I started with gouache and pencil, and added acrylic in later layers. This took several full days, during which time the flowers did shift and change, but I enjoyed that as part of the process. I also did two smaller paintings on canvas. One was very quick and unfinished, and I intend to layer back into. The other is more fleshed out, but still feels like it needs something &#8212; sometimes that feeling leads me to collage or incorporate another point-of-view &#8212; so we&#8217;ll see what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement_III-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement_III-1.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement_III-1-300x223.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement_II-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement_II-1.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement_II-1-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement.jpeg 699w, https:\/\/sarahpereakane.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Sarah_Perea_Kane_Carolyns_Arrangement-300x258.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first collaboration, I commissioned an arrangement from Carolyn Snell &#8212; an incredible local flower grower and designer.
