Bouquet of roadside flowers (2025)Watercolour by Natalia Butenko

This watercolor still life radiates sunlight and the quiet charm of simplicity. In a delicate, small antique vase of deep ultramarine stands a modest bouquet of just a few bright yellow flowers. Picked by the roadside, these unpretentious blooms have simple shapes and thin, almost translucent petals. Despite their modestly, they shine like little suns, filling the composition with warmth.
The rich blue of the vase creates a striking contrast with the yellow flowers, enhancing their freshness and glow. The minimal bouquet emphasises the elegance of each individual flower, while the vintage form of the vase adds a touch of nostalgia. The color palette is built around the harmony of yellow and ultramarine, resulting in a vivid yet balanced image full of light, air, and a summer mood.
