This lovely original painting by artist Marjorie Dean Andruk features an impressionistic still life painted on a background that is primarily blue and gray. In the foreground is a vase with daffodils, another vessel with forsythia and on the table below it several green apples. The serene color palette utilizes soft yellows, greens and blues on a gray background. The canvas sits within a light grayish blue wood frame (that has a slightly distressed appearance). There is some separation at the corners of the frame (see close ups). Marjorie Dean Andruk was born in 1922 and died in 2010.
