Summer Whisper by Bianca ter Riet

Summer Whisper captures summer at its most tender moment, with a radiant yellow sun as the painting's warm heart. In the centre of the canvas, this sun floats not sharply outlined, but soft and glowing, as if shining through a light mist. Its colour is rich and warm: shades of golden yellow, honey and soft lemon flow into each other, spreading a beneficial light that embraces the whole painting.

Around the sun, the sky opens up in a harmony of peach, pastel pink and cream, painted in loose, breathing brushstrokes. The light seems to move slowly downwards, where it touches the field of flowers and brings everything to life. The sun is not a dominant element, but a silent force - it whispers warmth, growth and calm.

Below this light source, an exuberant field of flowers stretches out. Slender stems rise up in deep greens and earthy tones, while the flowers themselves light up in coral, magenta, salmon, orange and soft reds. Some flowers seem to turn towards the sun, while others dance playfully to the side, caught in a summer breeze. The flower shapes range from recognisable to almost abstract, giving the painting a dreamy, poetic layering.

The paint is richly and vividly applied: dots, splashes and thick textures suggest movement, growth and abundance. The whole feels organic and free, as if nature is painting itself. The field of flowers is a vibrant counterpart to the calm, radiant sun, creating a balance between energy and stillness.

Summer Whisper with its yellow sun evokes the feeling of a warm summer day when everything is right: the gentle buzzing of insects, the tall grass moving, the sun warming your skin. The painting invites stillness and wonder - a moment when summer does not speak loudly, but whispers softly, straight to the viewer's heart. Field of flowers. Modern Abstract.
