Petals In Flight
Petals In Flight
Frames are not included and shown for inspiration. Canvases come ready to hang.
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 evocative image transforms zinnias into a work of timeless artistry by arranging them in and around an ornate birdcage. The composition bridges the natural vibrancy of the blooms with the elegance of a still-life tableau, set against a moody, textured background that enhances the contrast between light and shadow. The flowers, in shades of warm peach, soft pink, golden yellow, and rich magenta, appear to dance within the framework of the birdcage, creating a sense of restrained freedom and layered meaning.
The birdcage itself, with its intricate curves and weathered patina, serves as both a container and a symbol—perhaps representing the coexistence of wild beauty and human creativity. The cascading zinnias spilling outward evoke a sense of abundance and vitality, breaking free from their structured confines. The addition of scattered blooms and greenery around the base further grounds the piece in the natural world, adding an organic, untamed element to the otherwise formal arrangement.
Emotionally, this image conveys a delicate balance between control and spontaneity, making it an ideal metaphor for life's complexities. For viewers, it invites introspection while offering a striking visual feast. As a statement piece, this artwork brings both elegance and a touch of the unexpected, perfect for inspiring conversation and admiration in any setting.

from 12 reviewsGot my Poppies yeseterday! Absolutely beautiful!
I hung my prints last weekend and love them in the guestroom! We are now going to paint a light green to sort of match what you display on your website.
I received mine! It's absolutely beautiful Christina!
I purchased the sunflower print and I hung it up in my sunflower bathroom! It looks beautiful!
I purchased a still life with flowers from Christina and it is absolutely stunning! Christina has a magic touch with her still life arrangements and amazing eye for color and detail. I can't wait to frame this and hang it in my bedroom.
I have purchased two of Christina’s prints, one of gourds and one of still life with flowers. They both are prominently displayed in my home! I have also enjoyed her greeting cards. Her eye for beauty is always reflected in her work.
She manages to create images fit for any occasion or mood. The whimsy of some of her work (miniature people with food) always makes me smile; and the her current flower series is simply captivating. I love that she is bringing her years of professional training to creating such beautify images - somehow she captures the magic in the moment.
Christina brings her expert photography skills to her new 'fine art' line and the photos are just gorgeous. Check them out!
Christina has such a wonderful eye and a love of food and flowers that comes through in her work. I've purchased gorgeous cards and prints for myself and as gifts, and I like the variety of sizes that are available. Her skill, artistry and joy are captured in each piece.
So, Doug bought me two pieces of Christina's art for Christmas: roasted, multi-colored carrots. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see that pop of color when I turn the corner into the dining room. Cheerful, homey, and looks delicious: just like we hope our home and hospitality are!
My mom loved the peony photograph. She opened it on Christmas day and said, "Oh my, this is gorgeous!" It's now up on her wall where she can enjoy the photo and the memories it evokes of her grandfather, who grew an abundance of peonies in his small garden. Thank you!
I knew when I saw Brown Sugar Beach at the gallery that it had similar colors, but didn’t realize that the color scheme would tie together so well with our walls, floor, and furniture! At any rate, I’m really looking forward to enjoying and showing your artwork off to guests.
