Water Reflection of Cypresses

Cypress Gardens Reflection is an original impressionist landscape painting by Washington, DC–based contemporary artist Maria-Victoria Checa. This painting captures the vertical rhythm of cypress trees mirrored in still water, rendered through layered palette-knife strokes and subtle shifts of green, blue, and golden light. The reflections blur the boundary between forest and water, creating a sense of depth, movement, and quiet contemplation. Textural marks and broken color evoke the shimmer of light on water and the calm atmosphere of a Southern landscape. The artwork invites the viewer into a meditative space, celebrating nature’s balance, reflection, and gentle transformation.
