Heart of the Garden 30x24x1.5 Acrylic Mixed Media on Canvas

In Heart of the Garden, nature reveals its duality—grace and grit, softness and survival. Bold yellow flowers reach skyward, each petal infused with sunlight and movement. Their fiery orange centers pulse with energy, captured in layered strokes and dimensional textures.

Nestled among them, green cacti rise with quiet strength. Their spines speak of endurance, of beauty forged in harshness. The contrast between bloom and thorn becomes a meditation on resilience and adaptation.

The background flourishes with layered foliage—a lush tapestry of greens that hints at hidden life. Each leaf, each shadow suggests a story untold. Slow-drying mediums and matte finishes enhance depth, inviting viewers to linger and look again.
