Whimsical Oil On Board

Wonderful oil still life on board housed in a lovely frame, unsigned, richly textured, presenting a bouquet of pale yellow and soft pink roses arranged in a blue-and-white ceramic vase. The entire composition is rendered with expressive, swirling brushwork that feels both spontaneous and deliberate, creating a lively surface full of motion and personality.

Behind the flowers sits a rounded, arched mantle clock, its face just barely visible, hinting at a passage of time. The background is painted in subdued cool tones—muted blues and greens—contrasting with the vibrancy of the florals and the ornate detailing on the vase. Curving lines etched onto the composition give the impression of both contour and movement. The bouquet itself bursts with vitality, the flowers outlined in rhythmic, looping lines that suggest a fusion of floral realism and playful abstraction.

This piece exudes charm and a certain lyrical quality—reminiscent of post-impressionist or fauvist interpretations of still life. The tactile surface, decorative elements, and free-form outlines give it a uniquely animated feel, so lively!
