About this work

This painting shows a close-up of a garden corner. Bright red and pink phlox flowers stand out against green leaves and bushes. The background has a mix of soft greens, yellows, and a hint of blue-gray, with a faint glimpse of a building or fence. The artist focused on the flowers’ details, making them look almost three-dimensional. The brushstrokes are loose but precise, giving the plants texture without losing their natural feel.
