Cornflowers (2025)Watercolour by Natalia Butenko

The watercolor depicts a delicate bouquet of cornflowers in a transparent glass jug. The flowers appear light and fragile, with slender, graceful stems that intertwine to form a lacy, airy structure - a quality that’s visible even in the shadow they cast on the table. The shadow seems to extend the composition, adding depth and poetry. Soft light bathes the scene, filling it with warmth - the still life captures the quiet breath of a summer day. The color palette is gentle: shades of sky blue, warm glass tones, and a subtle shimmer of sunlight. Altogether, the painting conveys a sense of calm, light, and fragile beauty.
