Garden Respite 

"Garden Respite" is a painting by contemporary artist John Michael Carter, depicting a woman lying on a bed of patterned fabric. The woman is dressed in a white garment with a colorful patterned jacket and resting her head on a red pillow. The painting's composition is striking, as the woman is positioned diagonally across the canvas, creating a sense of movement and energy. Carter's signature style is characterized by his use of thick, impasto brushstrokes and a vibrant palette, giving the piece a textured, almost three-dimensional quality.
