This painting explores the quiet drama and inner life of a single bloom, unfolding against a deep, atmospheric ground. Saturated blues and violets sweep outward in expressive, fluid brushstrokes, suggesting both movement and stillness-like a breath held in just before release. Subtle touches of pink and white catch the light, while flashes of chartreuse and green ground the form in life and growth.
This work speaks to resilience and quiet strength, celebrating beauty that is not pristine or perfect, but deeply felt.
