Aqueduct Espada Mission

The Works of Carolina G. Flores

“The colors in my work are vibrant, pure; fresh from the tube.  Going back to west Texas (home) family portraits, highway landscapes and neighborhoods fill my canvasses.  There, in these portraits and landscapes, are the stories I want to tell with an emotion of color and line.” 

“The flowers are an extension of my love of nature, color and movement.  Whether store bought or grown in the garden, the brush moves quickly, capturing their dance before the petals fall.” --- Carolina Flores

Though not typical of Carolina Flores’s palette, the tonalities in this piece are somewhat somber. Trees surrounding Mission Espada’s Aqueduct are depicted in cool tones contrasting what appears to be a warm sunset piercing through them, transporting the viewer to the solitude of that place.
