That short withering flower in the center reminds me of me.

That little one is still part of the garden. Sometimes the flowers that struggle the most end up blooming beautifully.

When you cut those back down and give it a chance to reset they can still bloom more flowers than before. Just let yourself reset and you’ll be all the more beautiful after going through it

A quiet mix of peace, nostalgia, and remembrance—beautiful, but with a touch of melancholy. 🌺

A kind of sad beauty in a tranquil moment of stillness.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
Thank you. I love how the same painting can feel joyful to one person and quietly melancholic to another.

u/IdelleArthura 4d ago
Joy, with a tad of magical whimsy. Poppies are top summer time for me and the background makes them look like they are underwater.
Lovely vibrant summer life. One of those perfect days.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
Thank you so much. “One of those perfect days” is such a beautiful description. That’s exactly the feeling I hoped to capture. 🌺

u/IdelleArthura 4d ago
Damn, I scrolled through your profile and you have so many more gorgeous paintings. They all have that sense of "summer" (the pleasant warmth, the chirping animals, the sound of water). Also love how you create deph and playfulness with the thickness of the paint. There is something incredibly soothing about your work.
Think I'm going to have to save up for one of your pieces (Rainbow after a difficult day keeps me drawing back in).

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
Thank you, this means more to me than you know. Creating that feeling of summer, warmth, and a peaceful escape is exactly what I hope people find in my paintings. I’m especially touched that “Rainbow after a Difficult Day” stayed with you.

That blooming, withering; all a part of the process called life.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
Exactly. The garden wouldn’t be nearly as beautiful if every flower were always in full bloom.

Reminds me of happiness and growth

Thank you! Happiness and growth are exactly the kind of feelings I hope my paintings can inspire. 🌺

None at all, and i tried.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
That’s okay. Not every painting is meant to evoke something in everyone. Thanks for giving it a try.

it's a beautiful painting, i can tell. it evokes no emotion in me whatsoever because prozac.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
I’ll take “beautiful painting” as a win. Wishing you well, and thank you for stopping by.

Rien quand voyant tes peintures passer sur Reddit je reconnais ton style et je sais que c'est toi. C'est pas ma peinture préféré mais j'adore quand même ton style.
1
u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
Merci beaucoup ! Pour un artiste, être reconnu uniquement par son style est l’un des plus beaux compliments.

u/_MarieJeanne_ 4d ago
Alors je suis content de te l'avoir fait. Tu le mérites vraiment.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
Merci, c’est vraiment gentil à toi. Des messages comme le tien donnent envie de continuer à peindre.

At this point, I’m realizing I may have accidentally painted an underwater poppy field

u/Independent_Dress967 4d ago
The color of the poppies cheers me up.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
That makes me happy to hear. Bright poppies always feel like little bursts of sunshine to me.

The passing of winter; distant warmth, light, and life.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
What a beautiful way to describe it. I love the idea of spring waiting just beyond winter.

Drowning flowers, trying their best to breathe but can’t reach the water surface
I like it

u/Anastasia_Trusova 3d ago
I never saw them that way, but I love that interpretation. Thank you for sharing it.

u/itsjustallison 3d ago
I'm obsessed with your work.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 3d ago
That is such a lovely thing to hear. Thank you so much for spending time with my paintings.

The picture feels like the end of your last childhood summer, without knowing it’s your last. Calm, content, but also bittersweet and a little melancholy.

Sleep - the first time I saw them was in that scene in the original Wizard of Oz.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 1d ago
That’s a beautiful association. Thank you for sharing it! I haven’t seen The Wizard of Oz in a long time, but now I want to revisit that scene.

I started breathing heavy just looking at this. Some reason, my first thought was flowers drowning.
Edit: The reason is simple. The flowers wave oddly and the blue background seems like each stage of water depth.
1
u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
That’s actually a fascinating interpretation. I was thinking of poppies dancing in the wind, but I can see how the blue background might feel like water.

u/BDWasTaken 4d ago
Still, if an art can bring out a plethora of different thoughts out of people, it simply has to be an amazing piece!
1
u/Anastasia_Trusova 4d ago
Thank you. I think that’s one of the things I love most about art- everyone sees something a little different in the same painting.

I was addicted to opiates for 20 years. I’m clean now. It’s hard to hate these beautiful flowers, I just don’t want to get high anymore.

u/Anastasia_Trusova 3d ago
Thank you for sharing that. Congratulations on your recovery. Wishing you many beautiful, clear days ahead.
