In The Garden Oil

Contemporary Impressionism.

A pretty young woman in a flowing pale blue dress stands daydreaming amongst a meadow of wildflowers on a hot summer's day. Her gaze is soft and contemplative as she holds a single red poppy, lost in quiet reverie. The field stretches luxuriantly around her—a vibrant tapestry of poppies, daisies, and purple blooms punctuated by touches of orange and yellow, all set against a backdrop of deep teal foliage.
Each brushstroke is loose and impressionistic, creating the scene with a painterly expression of light and colour. The visible, energetic marks build rhythm and movement across the canvas, capturing that ephemeral quality of a perfect summer moment. Complex colour relationships—cool blues and purples playing against warm greens, brilliant reds providing dramatic punctuation—demonstrate the artist's ability to perceive subtle hues and unexpected harmonies.

The painting continues around the edges, so there is no need for a frame. Signed on the front, varnished and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
