Abundance of Love, Original Painting

Artist Comments
For years, artist Colette Wirz Nauke has found inspiration in the delicate, fleeting cherry blossoms that appear in early spring. "This floral painting expresses the beauty and movement found in nature," Colette shares. The background is painted a rich earthy brown allowing the vivid pink and green to take center stage. Colette added strong lines and stippling on the flowers and leaves to enhance the overall composition.
