Why Collect This Work
In this 24" × 30" original oil painting, Monique Sakellarios invites the viewer into a vivid meadow alive with late-summer bloom. The wide composition and low horizon give the poppy field a generous, immersive presence, allowing the red and orange flowers to become the emotional center of the work. From a distance, the painting reads as a luminous field of color; up close, it reveals expressive brushwork, layered texture, and the physical richness of oil paint.
The central field glows with crimson, scarlet, and cadmium red, balanced by deep olive, moss green, and dark ochre passages in the foreground. A bright channel of orange-red highlights suggests sunlight catching the flowers at their fullest intensity. Above the distant tree line, soft periwinkle, silver gray, lavender, and peach tones create a calm atmospheric sky, giving the entire scene warmth, depth, and breathing room.
Set in a warm, polished gold frame, In Love Again offers both visual impact and an inviting sense of joy. Its scale, color, and textured surface make it especially well-suited as a focal piece in a living room, dining area, entryway, office, or gallery wall arrangement.
