A vibrant and intimate watercolor study, this piece showcases Alice Charlotte Rieder’s instinctive command of color and her gift for elevating simple floral subjects into luminous compositions. Pink blossoms unfold across soft washes of turquoise and sea-green, their petals rendered with both delicacy and expressive spontaneity. Subtle purples and warm golds in the leaves introduce depth and contrast, giving the painting a gentle rhythmic movement.
The work reflects Alice’s late-1980s style, when her palette became brighter and more experimental, and her brushwork more fluid and intuitive. The result is a fresh, radiant composition that feels both immediate and dreamlike—an ode to fleeting beauty captured with confident ease.
