(c) White roses

A profusion of white daisies emerges from a blue glass vessel, their yellow centres clustered densely across the composition. The arrangement is set against a richly modulated background of warm oranges, purples, and deeper tones that suggest both interior and landscape simultaneously. Executed in acrylic with bold, gestural brushwork, the painting balances botanical specificity with expressive colour handling, creating an immediacy that transcends the stillness of its subject. Portchie’s work exemplifies his commitment to creating visual experiences that foster connection and joy.
