This vibrant still life composition showcases a lush, abundant arrangement of multi-colored roses nestled inside a light blue classical style pitcher with white relief details, reminiscent of traditional jasperware. Resting on an intricately embroidered white floral lace tablecloth, the arrangement bursts with saturated tones of deep burgundy, soft cream, coral, and delicate pink. The work exemplifies the artist's signature hyper-realistic approach to the colored pencil medium, achieved through meticulous layering and dense burnishing to create an extraordinarily rich, luminous, and jewel-like surface that rivals the depth of an oil painting. Her background in fiber arts and quilting is reflected in the complex interplay of pattern, texture, and crisp linear definitions throughout the floral and textile elements. Housed under glass with a layered multi-tone mat in a smooth, light finish natural wood frame.
