SUNFLOWERS IN BLOOM Size: 29.7 x 23 inches (including frame) Oil on canvas A lively and beautifully textured floral still life painting that celebrates the beauty of everyday objects, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1972. The painting depict an arrangement of sunflowers in a terracotta pot, radiating with vibrant energy. Executed in an expressionist manner, the painting showcases a bold and textured application of paint. Thick, dynamic brushstrokes in the impasto technique create a striking three-dimensional effect. This textured approach captures the raw, tactile quality of the subject, bringing the flowers to life. The colour palette is rich and harmonious, featuring warm yellows and oranges of the sunflowers, beautifully contrasted by deep greens of the leaves and the earthy red of the terracotta pot. Soft blues and yellows in the background provide a serene yet lively atmosphere, complementing the composition without detracting from its central focus. This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited frame with a hessian lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the linen border of the frame has some discolouration at its edges, but otherwise it is in good condition overall.
