Rhythms in Blue is an expressive floral, painted from memory, where blooms gather loosely in a vessel, their forms shifting and softening as they’re reimagined through gesture and repetition. Petals open and fold into one another, creating a sense of movement and cadence. The composition carries a quiet energy, as if the arrangement is gently moving from a breeze through an open window.

The palette is anchored in cool blues and soft whites, layered with touches of green, grey, and muted neutrals. Deeper, shadowed areas ground the piece, while lighter passages bring the blooms forward. Acrylic paint builds the structure with fluid, painterly strokes, while oil stick adds weight and texture, reinforcing edges and introducing subtle contrast. The interplay between soft blending and more defined marks gives the surface depth without losing its immediacy.

At 20" x 20", this piece is versatile and easy to place. It works well in a bedroom, living room, or study, especially in spaces that lean toward a calm, tonal palette. It would add depth to a neutral interior or to complement blues and natural materials like wood and linen. It has a balanced presence—strong enough to hold its own, but quiet enough to layer into a collected, relaxed space.
