The almond blossom trees serve as a perennial source of inspiration. They are the first to bloom in January and February each year. The flowering of these trees symbolizes renewal and optimism. Almond trees contribute a unique allure to the landscapes of Andalucia. Their slender, graceful branches and fragile blossoms adorn hillsides and rugged cliffs with an exquisite elegance. The hues and fragrances of their flowers invigorate the spring countryside. It is a remarkable experience to traverse vast fields filled with almond trees, but an even more delightful experience is to stroll through the groves. In this artwork, Kirsty Wain takes inspiration from Van Gogh's representation of almond blossoms, exploring a close-up perspective of the branches. The soft white petals are interspersed with subtle hints of pink, lemon yellow, and turquoise, contrasted against a Mediterranean sky blue that showcases large, detailed views of the beautiful spring blooms. The branches are prominently featured, intricately twisted and layered with richly textured shades of ochre, violet, rose pink, and olive green. The application of brushstrokes is expressive, resulting in a piece that is both captivating and atmospheric. "Almond Blossom" is the companion piece to the original painting "Almond Blossom at Night," executed in oil on a 3cm deep stretched canvas. The dimensions of this artwork are 85cm in height and 90cm in width, and it features a "wrap-around style" on the sides, which permits it to be showcased without the need for a frame.
