A painting of yellow flowers blooming in bright midday sun. Mostly yellow, with small touches of white, pale pink, and lavender. The color is cheerful but soft, so it is easy to live with. It would suit a living room where everyone gathers, or a room that does not get much sunlight. It can make the space feel a little brighter. A painting of yellow flowers opening in the midday light. Yellow takes center stage, with gentle accents of white, pale pink, and lavender. The palette is warm and bright, yet the tones stay soft enough that the piece settles quietly into everyday life. Hang it in a living room where the family comes together, or in a space that rarely sees direct sunlight — it has a way of making a room feel just a little more luminous. SERIES — BLOOM BLOOM is a series created to bring the feeling of flowers into a room — a little more color, a little more lightness, and a small lift in mood. Even where fresh flowers are difficult to keep, a painting can still create a sense of floral presence. Rather than rendering flowers botanically, the series uses light, open space, layered color, and painterly texture to suggest flowers and the air around them. BLOOM is not built around a fixed number of works. Each piece explores a different color and time of day, and only the works that feel strong enough to live with are kept in the series. ABOUT RITSUKO NISHIMURA Ritsuko Nishimura creates abstract and semi-abstract landscapes with a focus on how a work feels when it is actually lived with in a room. Her paintings balance color and form with light, air, stillness, and open space. Rather than demanding attention, they are intended to settle naturally into an interior and offer a small sense of ease or brightness whenever they are noticed. The work is designed to feel at home in both refined, hotel-like spaces and everyday rooms, adding calm, warmth, and visual lightness.
