"Vessel of Summer Breath", acrylic on canvas panel, 11 x 14 inches, Bishop Maxim, 2026 

A luminous green vase holds a vibrant cluster of hortensia, their blossoms flickering in blues, pinks, and whites. Set against a radiant orange ground, the composition pulses with warmth and contrast, where cool petals and living light meet in a quiet celebration of color and presence.
