Fleurs Du Dimanche — Sunday Flowers — is an original realistic painting created in 2021 by Sima Rahman-Huang, founder of Artists' Apothecary.
The title is French for Sunday Flowers, and the feeling embedded in that phrase is exactly what this piece carries. There is something particular about flowers on a Sunday — unhurried, quietly beautiful, present without needing to perform. They sit in a room and simply are. This painting holds that same quality of stillness and warmth, the kind that belongs to slow mornings, soft light, and the simple pleasure of something living and beautiful in your space.
Oil pastels are a medium that sits beautifully between drawing and painting — rich in colour, textured in surface, and deeply tactile in a way that rewards being looked at closely. The realistic subject matter painted in this medium gives Fleurs Du Dimanche an intimacy that photographs of flowers rarely achieve. It has the quality of something observed with genuine attention and affection, rendered by hand with care.
This is a one-of-a-kind original painting — there is only one, and when it finds its home it will not be recreated. It is signed on the back by the artist and comes currently unframed, which gives the buyer complete freedom to choose a frame that suits their own interior and aesthetic. It can be displayed as it is on a slim canvas board, or framed for a more traditional gallery presentation.
At 30cm / 11.8 inches, this is a considered and intimate piece — substantial enough to hold a wall on its own, small enough to sit beautifully within a larger gallery arrangement.
Currently on sale at £120, reduced from £140 — a rare opportunity to own an original work at a reduced price.

About the Artist Fleurs Du Dimanche was created by Sima Rahman-Huang, founder of Artists' Apothecary — a London-based creative wellbeing organisation rooted in the belief that art has the power to hold, express, and transform everyday human experience. Sima's paintings are made alongside her community practice, and both are driven by the same quiet conviction: that beauty is not an indulgence, it is a necessity.

it's incredible to see such important work happening at the Mindful Parent Hub workshops. Acknowledging and addressing parental burnout is essential, and it's heartening to hear about the supportive and honest environment you've created. The upcoming session sounds like a great way for parents to manage their multifaceted responsibilities and find some peace through creative activities. Looking forward to seeing the positive impact this will have!" — Dr Sunil Kumar, Lifestyle Medicine Physician
"The clear explanation of what parental burnout is was very helpful. I especially liked how you described it from your own experience, it made it feel real and relatable. The journaling with art activity helped me express things I often struggle to put into words."
