A round vase adorned with playful cats in mid-pursuit adds a touch of movement to the scene.

The choice of pink carnations against the backdrop of yellow-green apples not only offers a contrast in colors but also symbolizes a blend of affection and freshness, warmth and vitality.

Using watercolors in an impressionist style allows for a fluid, dynamic representation of the subject matter, light and shadow, color and form. This technique, with its soft washes and subtle gradations, perfectly complements the theme of the painting, capturing the fleeting beauty of the flowers and the dynamic energy of the cats with grace and ease.
