The Blue Vase

Realistic oil painting of a translucent blue vase with yellow roses on a white tablecloth with a sprig of lavender and a butterfly and a beetle

The Blue Vase

This painting started when the rummaging through the vase closet searching for a vase suitable for freshly clipped yellow roses. The colors of the vase and the roses worked well together but felt top heavy. I tried adding the lavender sprig but that did not really help. The beetle and the butterfly created a compositional pyramid and stability.
