"Hot July Blush" is a tender and daring glimpse into the vibrant life of a summer garden — and the intimate life that blooms around it. This painting zooms into a patch of zinnias growing just outside my bedroom window. The view is simple — stems, blooms, leaves, sun-warmed — but layered with personal memory and meaning. These flowers witness the deep, ordinary intimacy of summer days and nights. 
 
With bold textures and lush greens, this painting hums with heat and memory. It invites the collector to reflect on their own stories, to feel how beauty and desire live side by side in the natural world.

✍️ Artist’s Note:
This one feels like a blush. Like a secret held by petals and leaves. Painted during the heat of summer, it’s both a botanical moment and a personal truth.
