This is an original Mixed Media artwork created by Marlene Kallstrom-Barritt.
The image features a vibrant watercolor painting of flowers, showcasing a stunning interplay of colors. In the foreground, a large yellow flower with a prominent brown center stands out, its petals rendered in soft, flowing strokes that evoke a sense of warmth and cheerfulness. Beside it, smaller red flowers echo the brightness, their rounded shapes and delicate outlines contrasting beautifully with the bolder yellow.
The background is a soft wash of pastel colors—purples, blues, and greens—that creates a dreamy atmosphere, allowing the flowers to pop even more. Subtle splashes of white can be seen, perhaps representing droplets of water or hints of light, adding an element of freshness.
Artistically, the piece conveys a sense of joy and natural beauty, reminiscent of springtime blooms. The loose and expressive style not only captures the essence of the flowers but also invites viewers to appreciate the fluidity and spontaneity often found in nature. This artwork symbolizes growth, renewal, and the simple beauty of the natural world.
This work is done on birch panel.
