Daisy 1934

This delicate image of daisies was created by Ludwig Mestler in 1934. I can only imagine the focus and the care the artist has taken to capture the simple beauty of these flowers. The understated colour palette and subtle gestural marks evoke a dreamy atmosphere. I love how the leaves are a complex blend of greens and greys and how the lines add depth and texture, almost as if each petal has been carefully placed, one at a time. It reminds me of botanical illustrations but with an added personal touch. You know, like when you try to draw something and it ends up revealing more about you than about the thing you're trying to capture? Mestler's daisies are like that. They're not just flowers, they're feelings. I think it reflects the artist's ongoing dialogue with nature, with art, and with the world around him.
