This is so compelling! So juicy with colors that I feel a wonderful wave of pleasure on first sight of it. Your color palette is diverse and amazing.
Your combination of soft blending and sharp edges and lines make the scene spring to life. You blend the sky into a soft glow but you use sharp lines and colors for the flowers and the gorgeous greenery of the stems and vegetation. The contrast of blending parts of the scene and sharp edges gives your painting a feeling of immediate spatial proximity contrasting with the vast far away look of the sky, which is reminiscent of thunderclouds ready to start a storm. You render the flowers as being sharply sunlit, making the viewer perceive there is a shaft of sunlight shining brilliantly through the lowering clouds.
Your method of rendering everything in the foreground in multiple strokes of different colors with a wonderful mixture of warm yellows, oranges and scarlets with the cool purple and light blue and the touches of black and greens of the foliage creates a visual tension that makes the viewer linger on the sight reacting to and thoroughly enjoying the saturation of colors and shapes.
It’s a feast for the eyes. An invitation to linger and explore the details you bring forward with such style. It is an elegant painting and there is absolutely nothing to add to it or to take away. The details become important such as the green stems and shrubbery which is wildly natural, reflecting the color of the flower and the random strokes of light blue mixed in with the undergrowth. All of it equally important as are the the stems of buds, promising more flowers and colors.
This is no accident. You know what you are doing with every stroke and studying your painting is something all artists would learn something about how to paint. It teaches me and I come away knowing more than I knew before.
