This vibrant oil painting from 1994 presents a peaceful garden pond surrounded by a lush rockery. At the heart of the composition float numerous water lilies in shades of white and pink, set against calm, reflective water. The pond’s edge is framed by a lively variety of grasses, ferns, and flowering plants, interspersed with natural stones. The artist’s thick, expressive brushwork lends a vivid, textured feel, immersing the viewer in this intimate corner of a natural garden. Oil on Chipboard. Signed 'AM 94' in the bottom left corner. Framed in a light wooden frame, harmonizing with the organic subject matter.

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.
