In the Quiet” is my first painting of 2026 and it felt great to be back at the easel. I was drawn to the mauve and purple hydrangeas in a chinoiserie vase and the calm, moody feel of the piece, those quieter moments we all need more of to slow down and reflect. Original oil on stretched canvas, 30 × 35 cm (approx. 12 × 14 in). I carefully pack and ship worldwide. All artwork is shipped unframed. 🌍#cathylewispaintings #chinoiseriedecor #hydrangeadecor #hydrangealove #stilllifefloral | Cathy Lewi
