This still life rose study captures the soft, muted pink petals of roses contrasted against the cool gray ceramic vase with its ornate blue handle. Painted up close, I focused on the textures—the velvety roses, glossy ceramic, and how the colors subtly interact. The close composition highlights the gentle flow of the roses over the vase, balancing their structure and movement. Through this piece, I explored the interplay of light and shadow, aiming to evoke a quiet, reflective atmosphere.
