Full Description
This beautifully composed still life oil painting of red roses is a quietly powerful piece — romantic, expressive, and deeply atmospheric. Three fully opened crimson roses command the centre of the canvas, their velvety petals rendered with confident, textured brushwork. Surrounding buds hint at life still unfolding, while soft green foliage frames the bouquet and draws the eye inward.
Though little is known about the artist Linda Britt, the quality of execution speaks for itself. The handling of oil paint shows sensitivity and control, with layered strokes that give the roses both softness and presence. There is a sense of reverence here — a painter deeply engaged with colour, form, and the fleeting beauty of nature.
Believed to date from the 1970s–1980s, this work was acquired by a late collector known for sourcing still life paintings by lesser-known but talented artists. Mounted in an elegant, lightly carved giltwood frame with a subtle painted finish, the painting feels complete, refined, and ready to hang.
Perfect as a romantic gift or as an enduring addition to a traditional or eclectic interior, this is a painting to live with — one that offers warmth, colour, and quiet poetry every time it is viewed.
