NYC Floral | New York City Floral Painting

Original acrylic painting with gouache accents on 300 lb paper, 22" x 30", 2024.

This New York City floral painting celebrates the unexpected beauty of the Upper East Side’s flowerbeds. Pink, coral-orange, yellow, and white tulips rise through a dense arrangement of stems and overlapping leaves. Mint, turquoise, and lime-green foliage contrasts with deep green shadows and purple passages, giving the flowers a vivid presence.

Expressive brushwork follows the curves of petals and the sweeping lengths of leaves. Some blossoms open toward the viewer while others tilt or remain cupped, creating a lively rhythm throughout the composition. A creamy white flower near the center offers a quiet pause amid the saturated color.

Inspired by gardens within the city, this original painting captures a moment of flourishing life in Manhattan. Its abundant floral forms and bold palette bring the energy of an urban garden into a contemporary botanical composition.
