Leahy Art Appraisal

Daisy Field Landscape Painting by Lorie Leahy

This is an original acrylic painting on a canvas block, measuring 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches, created by artist Lorie Leahy. The artwork depicts a vibrant landscape scene dominated by a field of daisies under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a large white daisy with a prominent yellow-orange center stands tall, capturing significant attention. Several smaller daisies, also with white petals and yellow-orange centers, are scattered throughout the golden-yellow field, which is rendered with visible brushstrokes suggesting texture of grass or wheat. In the mid-ground, rolling green hills rise gently, providing a soft backdrop to the floral arrangement. The sky above is a bright, clear blue with minimal cloud indications, and two stylized dark birds are depicted soaring in the upper right quadrant, adding a sense of depth and movement. The painting exhibits a somewhat impressionistic or naive art style, with bold colors and visible brushwork. The artist's signature, 'Lorie Leahy,' is visible in the lower right corner, accompanied by the initials 'PTL'. The painting appears to be in good condition, showing no obvious signs of major damage, cracks, or significant wear. The colors are bright and well-preserved. The canvas block construction implies it is self-supporting and does not require a frame for display. The craftsmanship suggests a heartfelt, possibly amateur or emerging artist, focusing on capturing a cheerful and idyllic natural scene.
