This 80 x 80 cm painting is inspired by the beautiful dahlias at the Vordenstein garden in Schoten. I visited the gardens in the autumn of 2022 and of the many flower varieties in bloom, I was instantly drawn to the dahlias. I chose a dark blue background for this painting, which allows the greens, pinks, yellows, and whites to pop. The flowers in the foreground are in sharper focus, while those in the background are less so. This creates depth in the painting and allowed me to experience with different techniques in painting the flowers. The title “Dancing Dahlias” was inspired by the movement of the leaves, the swirls of green around the main subject, the dahlia blossoms.

Belgium
Laura K. Smith (1989) is a Canadian-born landscape painter based near Antwerp, Belgium. From a young age, Laura drew and painted with her grandfather (‘Opa’) and was inspired by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art movements she learned about in school. In Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Belgium, Laura studied Studio Fine Arts, Art History, and Art Theory, and earned a Ph.D. in Literature in 2018. Laura has worked in academia and as an art consultant, gallery assistant, and researcher, for internationally renowned art institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum and Colnaghi, the first commercial art gallery in the world. She is now pursuing her own painting practice professionally. Peaceful, joyful, strong, colourful, dream-like, and haunting are some of the ways in which Laura’s paintings have been described. Using acrylic on canvas, Laura paints colourful landscape scenes of her home country of Canada and her new home country of Belgium with the aim of sharing the joy that she experiences in the practice and appreciation of art. More recently, Laura has started working in watercolour. Complementary to her painting practice, Laura writes about her process and inspiration in her blog, available on her website.
