This painting, titled "Gentle to Myself," depicts a serene and calming scene of self-care and relaxation. A woman sits cross-legged in a meditative pose against a background of soft, dreamy colors and a vibrant meadow filled with scattered floral impressions. Her red outfit adds a warm, striking contrast to the pastel tones of the background.
The figure exudes tranquility with her hair wrapped in a towel and slices of cucumber placed over her eyes, a common symbol of rejuvenation and self-pampering. Resting on her lap is a gentle, orange-striped cat, adding to the comforting and peaceful atmosphere. The style blends impressionistic brushwork with a whimsical, almost surreal touch, emphasizing harmony, self-compassion, and connection to nature.
