Description
Bouquet IV – an airier bouquet in warm pottery
Painting on canvas opens the bouquet out until the ground shows between the heads and every flower gets its own space: abstract painting in everything but the subject, because what the eye actually reads is the interval between raised shapes. The vase is wide and round in a warm gold-brown, with a strongly worked surface.
Technique and texture
Thick knife-laid deposits cover the whole surface, densest at the flowers, where the paint stands several millimetres above the canvas. The vase is built from broad curved sweeps of gold and brown that follow the belly of a pot. White dots are flicked across the ground and form a net that lightens the whole upper part.
The motif
The petals are cream rather than pure white, and the centres are green-brown. Closed buds are plentiful and sit around the outer edge of the bouquet, where the stems reach furthest. Because the heads no longer touch, the silhouette is ragged and the ground becomes part of the drawing.
Setting and placement
The warm vase and the cool ground average out to something neutral, which is why this one sits happily on white or sand-coloured walls. Put it where you want quality without a statement — a bedroom, a hallway, a living room.

Bouquet IV above a sideboard, sofa or dining room wall
Bouquet IV is painted in 14 square sizes, from 40 x 40 to 180 x 180 cm. Let the cream flowers over their gold-brown vase take up about two thirds of the furniture width below: over a 150 cm dining-room sideboard 100 x 100 cm, above a 200 cm sofa 130 x 130 or 140 x 140 cm, over a bed 160–180 cm wide, 110 x 110 or 120 x 120 cm, and in a hallway or over a 90 cm chest of drawers 60 x 60 cm.
Pick YES under Stretcher and the silver canvas with its white dots arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for Bouquet IV the Frame menu opens at Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Bouquet IV is hand-painted with thick knife deposits, the flowers standing millimetres above the canvas, so it is not a print.
