An original oil painting of a still life on panel.

Capturing both vibrance and fragility, this painting exquisitely captures both darkness and light. The petals of the ivory roses speak of softness against the bold background. The magnificence of the rich tones in the fuchsia roses strikes an elegant tone against the dark background. Like a glass of rich red wine, the depths of this painting draws you deeper into its transcendence of passion.

This painting was featured in the Oil Painters of America Virtual Western Regional Exhibition. This 2020 exhibition was available for viewing August 1 – September 12, on the Illume Gallery of Fine Art website.
