This is an original Mixed Media artwork created by Marlene Kallstrom-Barritt.
This piece features a vivid watercolor illustration of two lush yellow flowers against a softly blended background. The flowers, chrysanthemums, are large and intricately detailed, showcasing layered petals that radiate warmth and cheerfulness. Their sunny yellow hue stands out brilliantly, contrasting beautifully with the muted pastel tones of the background, which include hints of soft pink, green, and blue.
The fluid brushstrokes create a sense of movement and lightness, while fine black outlines help to define the flowers’ shapes. This combination gives the artwork a contemporary feel while still honoring traditional floral representations.
Symbolically, yellow flowers often represent friendship and joy, enhancing the overall uplifting mood of the piece. The watercolor technique adds a dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the natural world.
