Bougainvillea and lavender (2023) Original Watercolour by Liubov Samoilova

A collection of original watercolours inspired by the quiet beauty of France — from sunlit villages of Provence to historic streets, canals and hidden courtyards.
These paintings focus on atmosphere, light and colour rather than detailed realism. Transparent watercolour layers create a sense of air, warmth and movement, capturing fleeting impressions of travel and everyday life in France.
The collection combines Mediterranean architecture, old stone buildings, flowers, canals and peaceful streets into a series filled with calm summer light and European charm.
In the first picture «Bougainvillea House» size 15x21 cm there is
а charming Mediterranean house framed by vivid bougainvillea blossoms.
Warm ochre walls and luminous pink flowers create a joyful contrast against the soft blue sky. This original watercolour celebrates the colour and warmth of Southern France through loose brushwork and transparent washes.
A bright and uplifting artwork for interiors inspired by travel, summer and Mediterranean living.
In the second picture «Lavender Morning in Provence», measuring 29x18.5 cm there is soft lavender fields and ancient stone architecture bathed in early morning light.
This atmospheric watercolour captures the quiet beauty of Provence through delicate violet tones and diffused sunlight. The peaceful composition evokes the calm rhythm of rural France and the timeless charm of old abbeys surrounded by summer fields.
Part of the “Quiet Corners of France” collection — a series of original watercolours inspired by French light, architecture and travel.
