Long ago on a walk you stood before a vast garden over looking the sea, the beach scattered with seashells.

Encore des Fleurs - Still, flowers

Layer upon layer in soft French hues, this original mixed media piece is built on (wood cradle board 12 × 12”) finished by hand with delicate details throughout. A raised central panel wood cradle board (6 × 6”) The treasure of one blush, pink hand beaded heart rests a top the memories of the garden forever with you that one day over looking the sea. Seashells surround the sides of this smaller painting. The edges are painted with a trellis of blue and green. Soft tones of layered hues with gold fold keep the secrets of that one moment in time.

Torn edges of gold leaf catch the light like age-worn gilding, adding warmth and radiance.

A small offering of tenderness, memory, and beauty collected over time. Still, Flowers.

Please note that the colors, light luminosity are so much more detailed and sun filled in feel life. Thank you. xo
