Cockatoo Vase: Proteas and Birds of Paradise on Warm Painterly Pink Print

This still life painting features a blue cockatoo enameled vase on a Matisse inspired leaf print tablecloth in soft sage green and very pale painterly pink. The vase contains a bouquet of flowers native to Australia, South Africa, and probably many other places I haven't even considered. The blooms include strelizias, or birds of paradise with watercolor inspired variegated coloring, proteas in deep pinky red colors ranging from a pale pink through fuschia, magenta and a deep dark cranberry. The flowers are surrounded by leaf covered stalks in emerald, hunter and forest green, with eucalyptus leaves and others adding soft mint and pistachio tones. My favorite aspect of this painting is the wall color behind the vase and table, it is painted in heavily textured brush strokes where the gouache sort of freezes time. Pink and white, peach and coral all dance about, creating a lively backdrop for the bouquet at the center of the composition. The piece is painted on cradled board and will ship unframed, ready to frame to your liking or hang as is.
