This image is part of my series called Flower Beds. This is where I fill the entire frame with as many flowers of one type as I can.
This is available as a fine art paper print or as canvas wall art.
This striking still life captures the delicate yet fiery essence of Icelandic poppies, their vibrant petals glowing like embers against a deep, moody backdrop. Arranged in an antique vessel, the flowers spill gracefully over, their crinkled, paper-thin petals catching the dramatic lighting in a way that feels almost theatrical. The dark green background enhances the intensity of the reds, yellows, and oranges, creating a mesmerizing contrast that evokes warmth and nostalgia.
The interplay of shadow and light gives the piece an old-world, painterly feel—reminiscent of Dutch still life masterpieces, yet with a modern vibrancy. The worn patina of the teapot and tray adds a sense of history, grounding the composition in a story of time and beauty.
This artwork invites the viewer to linger, to admire the rich textures and the way each bloom holds its own personality. It’s a celebration of nature’s fleeting moments, preserved in a scene that feels both intimate and grand. A perfect statement piece for those who appreciate bold color, vintage charm, and the timeless romance of flowers.
