Abstract Watercolor Peach Pink Flowers in Blue Pitcher Painting

Hello & Hola, I’m Mireya

An expressive painter, especially interested in abstract florals. A creative blogger and writer about her art adventures.

Her paintings are pops of boundless curiosity and positive energy, so that you can paint beautiful flowers no matter your canvas.

Here we just paint flowers and ponder life. That’s why A Painted Garden is rooted in kindness and wildflowers. Oh, and painting parties in the garden are coming very soon!
