Description
Flowers 4 – a meadow bunch in mallow
Painting on canvas pares a bunch of small meadow flowers down to the fewest possible marks on a cream-white, heavily textured ground: decorative painting in which the empty surface counts for as much as the flowers standing on it.
Technique and texture
A petal here is a single press of the blade lifted straight off, which leaves the paint standing and its edge square. The stems are drawn with the edge of the blade in thin, almost incised lines. The ground is worked coarsely in white and pale yellow with the tool marks left in, which gives the canvas the look of plaster.
The motif
The bunch leans across the canvas rather than standing in it, weighted low and trailing off high. The largest are in the lower half, where the pink thickens into carmine; toward the top the motif thins into single small buds and broken stems. Green appears only in short strokes beside the stems and never as a plane of its own.
Setting and placement
This is a quiet, pale picture for a bedroom, a bathroom or a reading corner. Because the palette is so light it sits on a coloured wall as comfortably as on a white one, and it will not crowd a small room.

Flowers 4 for a bedroom, bathroom or reading corner
The upright Flowers 4 painting is offered in 14 sizes, from 40 x 60 to 180 x 265 cm. For a narrow wall beside the bed or in a bathroom, 40 x 60 or 50 x 75 cm is enough, above a 90 cm console or bedside chest 60 x 90 cm belongs, and next to an armchair in a reading corner 70 x 105 cm. On a stairwell or a tall wall choose 100 x 150 or 120 x 180 cm. Because the mallow and white palette is so light, it will not crowd even a small room.
Each pink petal is a single press of the knife on the cream-white ground: Flowers 4 is hand-painted, not a print. With YES under Stretcher the meadow bunch arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher bar, ready to hang. A frame for the pale flower painting is your choice in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame. We deliver Flowers 4 in 15–45 days.
Is Flowers 4 the right flower painting for a bedroom or bathroom?
Yes, Flowers 4 is a delicate flower painting for quiet rooms: a bunch of small meadow flowers in pink and mallow leans across a cream-white, heavily textured ground, and the empty surface counts as much as the flowers. Because the palette is so light, Flowers 4 suits a white or coloured wall in a bedroom, a bathroom, a reading corner or a small room it will not crowd.
How is the hand-painted Flowers 4 made?
Flowers 4 is hand-painted by our painters with a palette knife: each petal is a single press of the blade lifted straight off, so the paint stands with a square edge, and the stems are drawn with the edge of the knife in thin, almost incised lines. The white and pale yellow ground is worked coarsely, like plaster. When Flowers 4 is finished, we send you a photograph of it to approve, then ship it.
How does Flowers 4 arrive: rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Flowers 4 the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Flowers 4 is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Stretched, Flowers 4 arrives ready to hang; rolled, it is practical for the tall sizes up to 180 x 265 cm. A thin white or light wooden frame keeps the flowers light.
How should I hang and care for Flowers 4?
Keep the denser lower part of the Flowers 4 bunch at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor. In a bathroom, hang it away from the shower and steam, ideally on a dry wall beside a window or door. Clean the relief ground of Flowers 4 with a soft dry brush, without water or cleaners.
Is the flower painting Flowers 4 a good gift?
