This oil painting from 1994 captures a sun-drenched terrace bursting with flowers and lush greenery. At the center stands a geranium plant in a terracotta pot, surrounded by various other potted blooms. In the background, a vibrant summer garden unfolds with hollyhocks, perennials, and climbing plants. The use of a bright color palette dominated by yellows, reds, and greens, together with the expressive brushwork, conveys a sense of joy, warmth, and summery abundance. The artist succeeds in conveying not just a place, but the mood of a tranquil, sunny afternoon. Oil on Chipboard. Signed 'AM 94' in the lower left corner. Framed in a dark wooden frame, which complements the vivid color composition beautifully.

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.
