A vibrant abstract landscape painted in bold blocks of colour. A hot pink sky sits above wide stretches of green and yellow fields. In the foreground, textured patches of mixed greens, reds, and blues suggest dense foliage, contrasted with a nearby area of mottled yellow and red. The brushstrokes are expressive and layered, creating a sense of movement and warmth.

An abstract landscape painted in vivid horizontal bands of colour. Deep orange stretches across the top, blending into layers of yellow, teal, and lavender. The lower half is filled with bold blues and purples, accented by dabs of green and small dark marks. Loose, textured brushstrokes create an energetic, impressionistic scene.

An older woman with short curly hair raises both arms joyfully while smiling wide. She wears a black and gold patterned jacket and stands in front of a dark fabric wall decorated with many colourful circular embroidered artworks.
