A Midsummer's Daydream, Original Oil Painting by Iris Scott

Titled A Midsummer’s Daydream, this Cézanne-inspired painting captures a sun-drenched forest with a radiant golden glow simmering in the distance, evoking a warm, ethereal haze. Slender birch trees, their white bark flashing like bellies of slender fish, punctuate the composition and break it into parts like a long painted scroll. Thick oil paint, slathered like rich frosting, gives the leaves a luscious depth. In the foreground, ambiguous blooms—reminiscent of rose anchor this vivid reverie.
