This is an original Mixed Media artwork created by Marlene Kallstrom-Barritt.
This impressionistic painting features a collection of soft pink roses arranged horizontally across the canvas with a muted background of pastel blues, whites, and hints of subtle green and purple, evoking the feeling of a hazy atmosphere or a textured wall. The roses are loosely defined with strokes of pink, red, and white, giving them a dreamy, almost ethereal quality.
The top half of the painting is dominated by a plain, light blue backdrop with an
eggshell textured surface that could represent a sky or a simple wall. The lower half of the painting where the roses sit transitions into a more complex interaction of colours, with strokes and dabs of paint creating an abstract, impressionistic field that suggests foliage or a garden bed in a nuanced fashion. The overall effect is romantic and gentle, inviting the viewer to consider the beauty of the flowers and the serene setting they inhabit.
This picture is painted in acrylic on stretched canvas, and the textured segments have been created using egg shells.
Marlene created this artwork in 2024.
