Two for Tea French Flower Market

A quiet afternoon, a soft breeze, and a garden bursting with color—this is the kind of place where you’d want to sit for hours, soaking in the beauty of the moment. Two for Tea French Flower Market captures the magic of a European flower market, where vibrant blooms tumble in every direction and sunlight filters through café umbrellas, painting the scene with dappled light and shadow. The bold strokes of crimson, magenta, and golden yellow create a rich floral tapestry, their energy balanced by the cool, calming blues of the shaded canopy. I wanted the umbrellas to feel as though they are sheltering stories—perhaps a conversation shared over tea, or a peaceful pause to admire the blooms. And those stormy clouds drifting in? They’re just a reminder to savor the light while it lasts. This painting is all about movement, warmth, and the fleeting, joyful beauty of a day spent among flowers and friends. Pull up a chair—there’s always room for one more at the table.
