This watercolour painting celebrates the beauty of everyday objects. I was drawn to the combination of the delicate blue-and-white patterned vase and the fresh green leaves spilling from it, each enhancing the other through contrast of colour and shape.
The intricate decoration of the vase brings a sense of history and craftsmanship, while the vibrant foliage adds life and movement. Painted with a light touch and plenty of breathing space, this work is a quiet study of simple beauty found in the home and the joy that plants can bring to a room.
