Bunch of Blooms

Inspired by a visit to Santa Fe, this oil painting captures the sun-drenched vitality of hollyhocks swaying in the desert air. Loose, expressive brushwork and soft transitions of color convey the warmth and radiance of the Southwest light. The adobe tones of the background suggest the charm of Santa Fe’s architecture, while the vivid pinks, purples, and greens of the flowers evoke a sense of spontaneous natural beauty. The composition balances structure and freedom — a celebration of color, atmosphere, and the fleeting poetry of a garden moment.
