Artist 　12P(60.6 x 45.5 cm) by Matabee Goto

Beautiful flowers are arranged in a vase, and behind it is a picture of an artist immersed in his work at a canvas.

He carefully carries his paintbrush towards the canvas. Flowers are full of life and decorate the space with bright colors. The look on his face shows that he is immersed in the creative process.

This is a wonderful work that captures the lively beauty of flowers and the moment when an artist pours his passion into painting.
