Bronze Embrace
12" x 12" x ½" — Acrylic on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
Bronze vase gently embracing pink flowers. They glow against a turquoise wall resting on a black table. This original acrylic painting is on gallery-wrapped 12x12x.5 canvas and comes ready to hang with a wire attached.
Every Friday, I used to volunteer as a painting leader at our Senior Citizens Center. One Friday, no one showed up, so I decided to make the most of the quiet time and create a moment in time to capture.
I spotted this bronze vase and thought it would make a wonderful subject. I borrowed a few flowers from an arrangement (don't worry—I put them right back! ), arranged them on a table, and took a photograph to use as my reference. From that one moment came this painting.
I love how the vase seems to be embracing the flowers and the black table shows it off so well. Enjoy the moment.
