Abstract Floral Still Life by Richardson-Baughman

This item is an framed abstract floral still life painting attributed to 'Richardson-Baughman'. The artwork depicts two stylized floral arrangements within tall, rectangular vases against a textured, muted background. On the left, a single red tulip with a slender green stem emerges from an orange-red vase. On the right, two white tulips with delicate green stems and leaves are positioned in a predominantly orange and brown vase. The background features a heavily textured surface, possibly created using gesso, impasto techniques, or overlaid material, giving it a stucco-like or crumpled paper appearance in shades of olive green, beige, and light brown. The color palette is earthy and subdued, with the vibrant red of the left tulip providing a focal point. The painting is framed in a decorative wooden frame with a dark brown, possibly reddish-brown, finish and a textured, repeating diamond or lattice pattern. A thin gold-colored inner fillet borders the artwork, separating it from the main frame. Given the provided context, the painting is approximately 25 years old and described to be in excellent condition, indicating minimal wear, damage, or repairs. The style is contemporary abstract and decorative, suitable for modern interior design. No specific artist's signature or maker's mark is discernible in the provided image crops, though the context suggests 'Richardson-Baughman' as the artist.
