English Rose, 2023

Captured in soft, romantic pastel hues, English Rose is a watercolour fine artwork inspired by the delicate blooms of scented flowers in the Artist’s garden in West Sussex, nestled in the heart of South Downs National Park. Featuring beautiful English roses, vanilla pompona, bergamot, and the tulle like freesia petals, the scene is alive with the gentle presence of butterflies and bees in a celebration of the English country garden in full bloom. ‘Painted directly from nature, this artwork embodies the serene beauty and delicate charm of my garden and born from my deep love for the watercolour technique, which delivers stunning pastel transparency.’ Mariya Dykalo Watercolour on paper | 39 3/8 x 39 3/8 inches | 100 cm x 100cm
