Blue Peach Spring

“Sometimes one genuine insight is worth all your previous experiences in life.” - from 'The Enlightened Gardener, Sydney Banks

I feel that often these genuine insights happen in nature, in a garden or a forest.

This abstract painting is part of a Blue and Peach color palette series of artworks themed around nature, forest bathing, meditative walking and the healing effects of a garden. I used metallic watercolor in the original artwork. I played with a peach pink color in this series as a way to add tenderness and contrast to the blue. The pink is like the unconditional love we receive from the natural elements, its enduring nature.

The image is an abstract watercolor painting dominated by blue and beige tones depicts a floral pattern. The artwork portrays a series of brush strokes and shapes that suggest the form of flowers, petals, and leaves. These elements are variably sized and some are grouped together, forming a pattern against a white background. The use of color and the energetic brushwork evoke a sense of freedom and movement, reminiscent of a vast, open meadow under a clear blue sky, conveying an impression of boundless and wild nature.
