9” x 12” acrylic on canvas board
Unframed
The brass bud vase absolutely caught my eye, the strong curves of the body, the lady-like ruffle of the rim. I loved the way the patina on the brass looked like it was made up of a patchwork of colors. And the subtle white rose with its natural green leaves served as the perfect compliment to the boldness of the brass, sharing the spotlight rather than playing second fiddle.
Using my brushstrokes to make confident marks, I focused on recording the shapes of exactly where I saw lights, darks, and even colors without questioning what I was seeing. This is what made the vase truly come to life. I also really loved using muted tones, and mixing a bit of the "brass” pigment into all the other colors which gave this painting an antique feel, rather than something modern. I believe this highlights the charm of the bud vase itself.
It is a classical still-life that meets modern Impressionism. This painting will give just the right touch of timeless beauty to a bookshelf, a kitchen, or a gallery wall.
