Woman in the sun (2025) Original Gouache Painting by Linda Clerget

This evocative gouache painting captures a moment of pure, sun-drenched repose. A woman is depicted comfortably seated in a lounge chair on a vibrant patio, her relaxed posture and stylish attire—featuring striking long purple hair and sunglasses—embodying the carefree spirit of summer.

The artist employs a signature neo-impressionist approach, rendering the figure through simplified, rounded forms and an unapologetically bold color palette, where sun-drenched yellows meet warm, playful pinks. The background is a masterclass in movement; fluid, dynamic brushstrokes evoke a deep blue sky punctuated by wisps of white clouds, while the lush green foliage in the foreground introduces a crisp, organic freshness to the composition.
