White Daisies Painting Appraisal

Still Life Painting of White Daisies in a Blue Vase

This item is a framed oil or acrylic painting depicting a floral still life scene. The central subject is a bouquet of white daisies with yellow centers, arranged in a round, light blue vase. The background is a soft, gradient shade of teal or light blue, suggesting a gentle ambient light. The painting exhibits a somewhat impressionistic or illustrative style, with visible brushstrokes, particularly on the petals of the daisies. The flowers appear vibrant and full, with varied angles and thicknesses in their petals, creating a sense of depth and natural arrangement. The vase has a reflective surface, indicating a glossy finish on the depicted pottery. A signature, possibly 'Karen' or similar, is present in the lower right corner of the canvas. The painting is housed within a multi-layered frame. The innermost layer is a narrow, light brown or tan fillet immediately bordering the artwork. This is surrounded by a wider, off-white or cream-colored frame with carved or molded decorative elements, primarily leaf or scroll motifs, which appear somewhat distressed or antiqued with darker accents in their crevices. This ornate frame is then bordered by a flat, light blue outer frame. The overall condition of the frame shows some wear, particularly on the carved sections, with minor chips or abrasions visible on the corners and edges, suggesting an estimated age from the mid to late 20th century. The colors of the painting itself appear well-preserved. It presents as a decorative piece, likely intended for home display.
