Summer Serenity

The painting celebrates the flourishing Summer season with bright blooms and season's most striking beauties - the three Oriole Birds - 'Streak backed Oriole' (left) , 'Scott's Oriole' (right) and the ' Orange backed Troupial' (center) paired with Dahlia 'Sunshine'. The word 'Oriole' means 'the Golden One' in Latin. These birds are known for their bright orange-yellow and black plumage with pointed beaks. The combination of yellow-orange shades of the subject and the background create an interesting blend of subtle contrast which brings both depth and soft light together displaying an immense amount of summer radiance.
