True Colors
 
Original Oil over Mixed Media 
by Christine Cloutier
 
True Colors is an original oil over mixed media painting by Christine Cloutier that celebrates the extraordinary beauty, individuality, and resilience of women through a vibrant tapestry of blossoms. Inspired by the timeless message of True Colors, each flower becomes a unique portrait—radiating its own colour, character, fragrance, and spirit. Together they create a harmonious garden where every bloom is valued for its uniqueness, reminding us that our differences are what make the world beautiful.
 
A graceful hummingbird weaves through the composition, symbolizing joy, hope, and the quiet strength found in embracing one's authentic self. Rich textures, luminous layers, and expressive colour bring the painting to life, inviting viewers to reflect on their own journey while celebrating the beauty of living with confidence, kindness, and purpose. As Christine painted, she felt guided by a profound appreciation for the uniqueness that exists within every individual, creating a work that is both uplifting and deeply inspiring.
