Under the bright sunlight, a salmon-pink rose glows like a soft yellow diamond. Its stem and leaves blend subtly with the purple and blue background. The brightness of the petals evokes a sense of joy and optimism.
About the Artist
Artist Naoko Tadotsu creates expressive, prismatic paintings inspired by her deep appreciation for the colors and light found in nature. "I am always in awe of colors and lights in nature, and I try to express that feeling," says Naoko. Originally from Osaka, Japan, she moved to New York over two decades ago and began studying at the Art Students League, where she discovered her love for oil painting. Her compositions often border on abstraction, portraying trees as living beings that, like people, "show different faces." Naoko’s palette shifts with the seasons, from cool pastels in early summer to warm reds and golds in autumn. She paints from her apartment studio in New York City, often with classic rock playing in the background. Outside of art, she enjoys walking, reading, and watching movies.

"The vase in this painting is the main character," says artist Oksana Johnson. "This handmade Italian ceramic piece is a work of art in and of itself. I selected other elements for this composition to support and complement its timeless charm." Oksana applied distinct brushwork on the blue and white vessel and created a striking balance of color with the soft peach roses.
About the Artist
Oksana’s paintings embody the tradition of Impressionism in the truest sense of the style. While Impressionism in its 19th Century roots was intended to change both the method and perception of painting modern life, Impressionist work in a contemporary context is arguably entirely about aesthetics. Oksana’s paintings beautifully capture serene city and garden scenes with soft painterly strokes and a delicate depiction of light. She often works en plein air, particularly when she travels in Europe, following in the footsteps of the Impressionist masters. When she’s not travelling or painting outdoors, Oksana can be found admiring her tranquil view of the Pacific Ocean from her San Francisco home and studio.
