SILVER JUG


SOLD

I like how this painting worked out in that the roses at the top are there but yet not over powering, letting the silver jug be the focus of the setting!

ROSE VASE

A warm, lively painting, depicting a warm setting of roses in a lovely glass vase, reflecting sunlight in the water.

SILVER URN

SOLD
Nothing is more inspiring than the reflections on a beautiful SILVER URN! So I captured this picture as the sun came rushing through my studio window this morning...didn't linger long though, as winter is setting in! I love how the dappled light, soft petals and broken color all work together in this piece!
