Midday in the Garden - 24x20 inch - Contemporary Floral Still Life with Garden Narrative
Fine Art Original Oil & Graphite on ACM | One of a kind
Midday in the Garden gathers the quiet joy of growth—painted from life, one sunflower stem at a time. Five Chocolate Cherry sunflowers rise from a neutral, softly distressed ground, captured in stages of becoming from seed pod to full bloom.
Graphite-drawn bumblebees approach from each side, while a chickadee perches atop the tallest seed pod, watching an ant below. A daddy long legs hunts near a wandering ant—small, unscripted dramas of the garden unfolding in tandem with the blooms.
The aluminum composite surface (ACM) holds every brushstroke and pencil mark with clarity, rewarding collectors who appreciate images built for slow looking and grounded meaning. Framed in a minimal black floater frame, the edges of the panel remain visible—reminding us that the process, like the garden, is part of the story.
