FIVE ROSES in a silver urn and glass vase with warm winter sunlight shining through the petals. Just such a gorgeous though fleeting moment I tried to capture!
The warm opulence of this image inspired me to paint it. I love everything about the scene, French furniture, inviting couch and of course the fabulous golden chandelier!
I spent a few days with my dear friend Katana who has the most beautiful pieces of Italian and Mexican pottery in her house. The early morning sunlight caught these oranges just for a little while and inspired this painting.
ROOI SLAAPKAMER is such a lovely, warm and bright rendition of a calm and inviting French bedroom. Soft French Blue walls set off the dramatic, red curtains which makes for a beautiful interior scene that invites your eye in to sit on the sun drenched chaise.
Classic pink peonies in a deep violet glass vase makes for a beautiful and pleasing floral still life! ****PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!
