Dried Roses
2023. Oil on canvas. 60 x 73 cm.
My wife made up a basket full of roses and left them to dry…..The painting is a considerable enlargement of the original roses; a closeup. I was haunted by a Rolling Stones’ song from the album Sticky Fingers called “Dried Flowers” (play it, it’s a classic) while I was painting this. The closing line is “No, and I won’t forget to put roses on your grave.” Yes this does have a melancholic feeling but it is very beautiful.
Paintings are packed in plywood boxes. Shipping and insurance are included in the price in the European Union. Please contact me for other countries.
See your possible choice of picture hung in your house.
Take a good photo of the room where you might like to hang the painting and email it to me. Try and keep the vertical lines in the photo as vertical as possible. Send me the measurements of something in the shot (a radiator, a wall or a table top) that I can use to estimate the scale. I will send you back your photo with the picture on the wall. There is no charge for this, and we can try as many variations as you like.
