Warmth Within came from my love of rich color, thick texture, and the way flowers can feel both lively and beautiful at the same time. I especially loved working with the contrast of the vivid blues, soft peachy corals, and deep purples, and using generous texture to give each bloom its own presence and personality. As I painted it, the piece felt full of life, but also full of warmth.
What I love most about this painting is that balance between energy and peacefulness. It feels expressive and bold, but still soft and inviting. I hope it brings that same feeling to whoever lives with it—a sense of warmth, beauty, and a little burst of joy every time they see it.
