Sunflowers in a Vase Painting Frame:Artwork on frame A single ancient olive tree

A single ancient olive tree stands at the heart of this composition

its luminous tones lifting a soft

Golden winter grasses poke through the snow at the edges

deep green or warm timber tones

and they pick up the tones of a natural wool rug underfoot

Sunflowers in a Vase Painting Frame:Artwork on frame A single ancient olive treeThis softly luminous painting gathers a generous bouquet of sunflowers spilling from a rounded amber ceramic vase, their golden petals layered in loose watercolour washes against a pale cream ground. Large open blooms with deep russet brown centres tilt at every angle, framed by broad emerald leaves that fan out and curl towards the table. A few fallen flowers rest at the base, catching the same warm afternoon glow that bathes the whole arrangement.
