Rhododendron Dreamscape
Watercolour on Saunders Waterford 300g paper
29.5 × 20.5 cm
Painted en plein air, Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden, Helsinki
"Rhododendron Dreamscape" was created outdoors among the blooming rhododendrons in Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden. The soft washes of colour reflect the light, scent, and stillness of that early summer day — a moment where nature and imagination blended into one.
I was moved by the calm beauty of the garden and wanted to capture its quiet energy and fleeting blooms.
Painted with transparent watercolour layers, letting the pigments flow freely — echoing nature's own rhythm.
This piece reminds me of the peace I find in plein air painting and the connection between colour, light, and emotion.
It continues my exploration of nature's spirit and the poetry of colour in motion.
