I’m thrilled to share my very first still life painting! The background bursts with vibrant colors, reflecting the energy and passion I poured into this artwork. Among the lively hues, you’ll spot green leaves that symbolize growth and vitality. At the heart of my painting is a small plant that I grew from a seed—a significant achievement for me, as I’ve never before been able to nurture a single seed into a flourishing plant. This piece captures my joy in cultivating it and celebrates nature’s strength and the happiness that creativity brings. Created using a heavy acrylic medium on 9×12 paper, it was completed in 2022. I’m proud of this initial attempt at still life and believe it turned out quite well!
