Best Buds: two peach dahlias in crystal vase (No. 503) - 5 x 7 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 two peach dahlias with a cool blue chinoiserie wallpaper, one of my favorite themes.

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.
