Bouquet of white flowers (2023)Watercolour by Natalia Butenko

Before us is a watercolor still life filled with light, air, and gentle poetry. At the center of the composition stands a delicate bouquet of white anemones, their translucent petals seeming to be woven from pure light. They rest in a turquoise vase whose soft color transitions recall the calm surface of the sea—clear, deep, yet weightless.
The vase sits on an emerald-green stool covered with a lace doily. A few fallen anemones lie on the intricate fabric, their fragile presence adding a sense of naturalness and tender imperfection to the scene.
The entire painting is permeated with soft sunlight. The light flows through the petals, glimmers on the vase, and slides across the lace, filling the space with freshness and purity. The artist gently reminds us how simple things—a bouquet of flowers, an elegant vase, a ray of light—can transform the world around us, bringing harmony and serenity.
This watercolor is more than a depiction of flowers; it is a hymn to the beauty of everyday life. It tells us that placing a bouquet of fresh flowers in a beautiful vase can instantly fill a home with warmth, comfort, and joy. In the same way, this artwork, with its luminous transparency and tender palette, can grace any interior, bringing with it a sense of nature’s calm, purity, freshness, and quiet happiness.
