Tea and dahlias in pink vase (No. 499) - 8 x 10 acrylic painting on canvas

My backyard garden brings me so much joy! I spend the summer tending my garden and growing my relationship with the flowers I paint. I paired a bouquet of dahlias with my great-grandmother's teacup. I love to focus on details in the negative space of a painting. As it often happens in life, those in-between, ordinary moments are what gives life meaning and depth. This original acrylic painting is on an 8 x 10 x 1.5 inch stretched canvas.
