Ivory and Alabaster

Roses and peonies are two of my favorite flowers and this painting portrays a lush bouquet with predominantly white blooms with hints of yellow at their centers. The petals exhibit a soft, impasto brushwork, giving the flowers a delicate and slightly ruffled appearance that adds to their natural beauty.The beautiful blooms are situated in a clear glass vase, which reflects light and casts a subtle shadow on the surface it rests upon. Below the arrangement, several petals have fallen onto the surface, suggesting the natural progression of the flowers’ life cycle and the transcient nature of life. The background is executed in deep tones, providing a contrast that highlights the creamy white and delicate textures of the petals. This painting captures the softness and romantic beauty of the flowers with loose, impressionistic brushstrokes, giving the image a sense of movement and life.
