Flowers

Pink and yellow blooms gather close, their soft rose petals pulling deeper toward magenta at the center.

The whole arrangement seems to hold its breath. It sits just off-center, stems and leaves reaching into the space around them. The color deepens from soft rose and lemon to a rich magenta, all of it resting against the muted greens of the leaves. And the background is just a whisper of warm grey and earth. You can almost feel the paint—thicker on the solid blooms, but so thin and soft at a petal's edge. The light comes gently from one side, shaping each flower with a quiet shadow. The air holds, settled and unhurried, as if the afternoon has paused right at this table.
