Original artwork description:

This original painting of a vase of flowers beautifully captures the interplay of colour and texture. Painted in acrylics on deep canvas, it utilises impasto and splatter techniques to create a vibrant and dynamic composition. Rich crimson reds contrast harmoniously with a soft, country green background, while delicate gold and silver leaf highlights add subtle, refined details. The expressive brushstrokes emphasise the natural curves of the leaves, and the stems are cleverly depicted through the water in the glass vase, adding a touch of realism and depth.

It is called ‘Love Story’ because the vibrant crimson flowers symbolise passion and romance, while their harmonious contrast with the soft, country green background evokes a sense of balance and connection. The delicate gold and silver leaf highlights add an element of elegance, representing the precious moments in a love story, while the intertwining leaves and stems reflect the intertwining of two lives. The composition as a whole speaks to the beauty, complexity, and depth of love.
