Nadia Lassman
Nadia Lassman’s All Fired Up is a luminous floral painting centred on a single yellow water lily floating on a soft blue pond. The blossom is the clear focal point, opening outward in warm yellows, creams and orange accents, with its reflection dissolving gently into the water below.
The surrounding lily pads are loosely suggested rather than sharply defined, creating a dreamy, impressionistic atmosphere. Pale blues, turquoise greens, soft violets and muted yellow-greens give the water a fresh, airy quality, while the visible canvas texture and loose brushwork keep the surface lively.
The title All Fired Up works well because the flower seems to glow from within. Its warm centre contrasts beautifully with the cool blue water, making the lily feel almost sunlit or flame-like. The overall mood is peaceful but bright, combining delicacy with a strong burst of colour.
