Floral Still Life Oil Painting by 'E. Kelly'

This item is an original oil painting depicting a vibrant floral still life, housed within a decorative wooden frame. The painting features a bouquet of various colorful flowers, predominantly anemone-like blooms, rendered with impasto brushwork that gives them a textured, almost three-dimensional quality. The flowers display a range of hues including red, blue, purple, yellow, white, and orange, with distinct black centers that add depth and contrast. They are arranged in a pale turquoise or teal vase, which sits on what appears to be a wooden table or surface. The background is a soft, light green, providing a calming contrast to the lively bouquet. The canvas texture is visible, particularly through the thick application of paint. A signature, 'E. Kelly', is discernible in the lower-left corner of the painting, indicating the artist. The frame itself is made of wood, likely pine or a similar light-colored wood, and is finished with a light brown or golden stain, showcasing a visible wood grain. It features a decorative, carved or molded pattern along the inner edge, bordering the artwork, and a slightly relief-like texture on the outer edge. The frame shows some signs of age and wear, including minor scuffs or abrasions visible on its surface, consistent with a vintage piece. The overall condition of the painting appears good, with no obvious major damage like tears, punctures, or significant paint loss visible in the provided images. The style suggests a mid-20th-century aesthetic, possibly falling into the Mid-Century Modern or a post-impressionistic style due to the vivid colors and textured brushstrokes. This piece is characterized by its bold use of color and expressive application of paint, making it a cheerful and decorative artwork.
