Summer Transitions II

Summer Transitions II, a 24x24-inch acrylic and oil painting on gallery-wrapped canvas, is a companion to Summer Transitions I and explores the delicate interplay between realism and abstraction. This work captures a butterfly poised gracefully on a thistle bloom, its wings adorned with striking patterns of soft yellow, black, and muted browns. The intricate detailing of the butterfly contrasts beautifully with the textured, painterly background, where shades of lavender and gold merge to create an atmosphere of quiet elegance.

The composition balances fragility and resilience. The sharp textures of the thistles contrast with the soft drips of paint that bleed downward, reinforcing the theme of transition and impermanence. A golden, torn edge in the background adds a touch of the ethereal, symbolizing the fleeting nature of summer’s bloom. This piece and its counterpart evoke a harmonious dialogue, celebrating the beauty and ephemerality of life’s seasonal shifts.
