Hot Air and Roses

A summer afternoon. A back room. A vase of roses.

There is a particular quality to the air in an old house in summer - warm, still, golden. Hot Air and Roses is painted from memory as much as from life: a cobalt blue vase of deep pink roses and yellow-green foliage on a wooden side table, in the kind of back room that only grandmothers seem to have. Petals fallen on the table. Light coming from somewhere you can't quite see.

Painted in oils on a handmade linen board, the warm golden textured background gives the painting that feeling of heat held in a room - unhurried, nostalgic, and completely still. The ornate black and silver rococo-style frame suits the painting's old-world mood perfectly, and the built-in stand means it can sit on a surface as easily as it hangs on a wall.
