In this vibrant composition titled 'Garden Clematis with Watering Cans', dated 2000, artist Alexander Michael captures a lush and intimate garden setting. Centered on two metallic watering cans placed on a tiled terrace, the painting is surrounded by an abundance of flowering plants, terracotta pots, and colorful garden ornaments. A blooming clematis dominates the background, cascading in white and purple hues across a wall. Painted in oil on chipboard. The signature 'AM 2000' is located in the bottom right corner. A dark reddish wooden frame provides a warm and grounding border that enhances the lively tones of the painting.

Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
