Never Look Back

"Never Look Back" is a vibrant and expressive original painting by Tara Verkuil, celebrating the boldness of color and the freedom of abstract expressionism. This 48" W x 48" H piece is part of Tara’s "Just Breathe" series, where she delves into the dynamic interplay of floral and nature-based abstraction through loose, fluid brushstrokes and layered textures.

The painting features a symphony of colors, with shades of green, blue, and yellow serving as the foundation, while touches of red, purple, and white add contrast and depth. The abstract floral forms emerge through bold and gestural marks, capturing the energy of a blooming garden and the vibrancy of nature.
