The Magenta + White wildflowers sprout up among the Bluebonnets. Their foliage is made of mixes of Pthalo Blue + Cadmium Orange + Cadmium Yellow Medium + White. This is a warm green that comes forward of the cooler, bluish greens in the distance.

Another clump of Bluebonnets bursts forth. These closest ones are painted with combinations of Cobalt Blue + White and Cobalt Blue + Ultramarine Blue + White. Their color is a bit more intense than those near the barn, which makes them appear closer. The last step is to delineate the tiny white caps on top of each bloom.
Coreopsis surround the base of the gate post on the right. Cadmium Yellow Medium + Cadmium Orange + a touch of MUD (2 parts Ultramarine Blue + 1 part Alizarin Crimson), Cadmium Yellow Medium and Cadmium Yellow Medium + Cadmium Lemon Yellow are used for the cheerful blossoms.
The dark centers are added with a thin mix of MUD + Liquin Original.
Trumpet Vine, made of Cadmium Orange + Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Orange + MUD, Cadmium Orange and Cadmium Orange + Cadmium Yellow Medium, clambers over the fence.
A few final details finish out the Scarlet Northern Cardinal.
White Prickly Poppies nestle in the lower left corner. The large, crepe papery blooms are blocked in with White + Dioxazine Purple, White + Ultramarine Blue and White + Pthalo Blue. Leaves are mixes of Pthalo Blue + Ultramarine Blue + Cadmium Orange + Cadmium Lemon Yellow + White.
