Days of Summer

This painting captures the warmth and joy of a summer afternoon. Striped umbrellas and sunlit tones of yellow, pink, and orange evoke the rhythm of seaside days, moments of light, rest, and reflection. Through gentle abstraction and layered colour, Irene transforms a simple scene into a memory of brightness and calm, where the essence of summer lingers in the air.
