Smells Like Summer captures the energy and vibrancy of the season through bold, expressive strokes and a rich, layered palette. A striking red bloom bursts forth from the canvas, its petals unfurling with a sense of movement and life. The dynamic background transitions from warm golden yellows to cool, refreshing blues, evoking the interplay of sunlight and coastal breezes.
Drips and textured layers in the composition reflect Michelle Nixon’s signature style of working with acrylics and mixed media, where each mark tells a story of spontaneity and controlled chaos. The flower’s centre glistens with delicate white highlights, suggesting both the heat and light of summer’s height.
This piece invites the viewer to pause, breathe deeply, and recall the scent of sun-warmed earth and blooming gardens—an ode to carefree days and nature’s abundance.
