Summer

"Summer" is a vibrant and uplifting original painting by Tara Verkuil that captures the timeless beauty of roses in full bloom. This 48" W x 36" H piece celebrates nature’s vivid palette, showcasing two standout roses—one pink and one red—surrounded by swirling colors and lush, abstract foliage.

The painting is filled with rich and expressive brushstrokes, bringing movement and life to the canvas. The bold composition features layers of pinks, greens, and blues, with playful dashes of yellow and soft drips of paint adding a touch of spontaneity. The dynamic textures and layered application of acrylic, graphite, crayons, colored pencil, pastels, and oil sticks create a tactile experience, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this floral escape.

Tara's signature style shines through with loose and expressive brushwork, allowing the colors and forms to blend organically. The bold pink and red roses serve as focal points, drawing the viewer’s eye through the tangle of blooms and colorful abstractions. The clear and bright tones make "Summer" a joyful addition to any space.
