The print "Summerbreeze" is an explosion of sensory energy - a visual translation of a warm, sultry summer day where everything seems to be in motion, even the air.

🌿 The background shows a carpet of lush leaves, with shades of green reminiscent of a tropical garden just after a refreshing rain shower. Some leaves have subtle traces of fading or damage, emphasising their natural character - nothing is perfect, but vibrant for that very reason.

🔥 A powerful pattern of bright orange brushstrokes snakes across the leaves, wavy and playful as if dancing on a warm breeze. These lines are free, intuitive and seem drawn almost with childlike enthusiasm. They bring a sense of movement and warmth to the composition, as if the sun itself is gliding through the leaf with fiery fingers.

🌞 The orange dots and splashes, scattered across the image like sunbeams breaking through the trees, add an extra dimension of depth and cheerfulness. They seem random, but fill the scene with a rhythm that makes your eyes dance across the image. They evoke the feeling of dust particles in the sun, or the splashing of water in the light.

🎨 The colour scheme - from fresh green and cool blue to intense warm orange and red - forms a harmonious contrast between calm and energy. The red-orange at the top feels sweltering, as if the afternoon sun is burning, while the cool green at the bottom softens and balances .

Summary:
"Summerbreeze" is no ordinary print - it is a sensation. It captures the fleeting beauty of a warm summer day in which nature, sun and playfulness merge into a vibrant whole. It is both an ode to the free feeling of summer and an expression of artistic spontaneity.
