I painted Blushing Roses while sitting quietly in a rose garden in Italy, surrounded by the gentle rhythm of nature and the soft presence of blooming flowers. I had chosen this place intentionally, drawn by its calm atmosphere and the richness of its colors. The pink roses weren’t a surprise—they were the reason I came—but each one still felt like a moment worth capturing.
Painting on location allows me to slow down and connect with the world around me. It’s not just about what I see, but about what I feel in that moment. With this small canvas, I wanted to preserve the softness of the petals, the play of light, and the quiet joy of being present. The brushstrokes are loose and intuitive, reflecting the immediacy of the experience.
Blushing Roses is a personal memory—a fragment of a day spent in nature, doing what I love. It holds the warmth and stillness of that moment, and through it, I hope others can feel a bit of that peace too.
