The flowers reach upward with graceful intensity, their crisp white petals gently opening beneath lush, expressive green leaves. Behind them, a backdrop of pastel-toned shutters in blues, creams, and touches of coral evokes a sun-drenched interior—perhaps a peaceful morning by the window.

A single orange rests at the base of the composition, offering a grounding note of warmth and contrast. The surface beneath reflects the soft geometry and playful palette of the background, subtly repeating its hues in blurred abstraction. This interplay of realism and painterly gesture gives the work its distinctive voice.

The artist has noted a few textural variations in the upper left and bottom left corners, created during the layering process with matte medium. These slightly raised areas, smooth and unobtrusive, add a tactile quality that reflects the hand of the maker—imperfections that lend the piece authenticity and character.

This painting embraces the beauty of everyday life, transforming a simple floral scene into a layered meditation on light, color, and presence. Ideal for spaces that value warmth, intimacy, and a touch of timeless charm.
