Pink summer phlox flower

Delicacy that speaks of resilience. This phlox was painted from life in the height of summer — when the sun is generous and the air carries the scent of the steppe. Its fragile petals, like watercolour whispers, preserve the rhythm of life: bud, bloom, withering. The work explores the beauty of a moment, the cycle of growth, and the quiet strength within stillness. Part of a series of botanical watercolours that reflect on harmony, vulnerability, and endurance in the plant world — as a mirror of the human psyche. This piece can be presented as a complete, stand-alone story or as part of a diptych — a visual dialogue about life that keeps emerging. The painting is created on 100% cotton paper using professional lightfast watercolor paints, which ensures lasting freshness, color stability, and archival quality for years to come.
