"In The Heart of the Garden"
This acrylic painting, created en plein air in a summer garden, captures a vivid moment of blooming of dahlias and roses. Bright, saturated colors convey the pulse of life in full bloom, while the modern, expressive style brings a sense of light play. Each brushstroke feels like a breath; each petal, an emotion. The flowers seem to spill beyond the canvas, sharing their story of beauty, freedom, and joy.
I will send this painting stretched on a wooden stretchers, ready to hang.
