This semi-abstract landscape painting captures the reflection of trees in the water during the spring season at dusk. The composition is balanced and skillfully arranged to create a visually striking image. The colors used are primarily muted, with shades of vanilla, lemon, peach, and pink dominating the palette. The use of acrylic paints and pastels in thin layers creates a sense of transparency and depth, with colors blending together in a soft and inviting way. The trees themselves are depicted in a style that is semi-abstract, with a fluffy and candy-floss-like appearance that adds to the overall romantic and dreamy feeling of the painting. The overall style of the painting is reminiscent of Monet, with a modern twist that makes it unique and visually beautiful.
