Vintage 1959 Edwards Original Oil Painting of Yellow Roses

This is a mid-century original still-life oil painting on cotton canvas, dated 1959 and signed by the artist, Edwards. The composition features a vertical spray of vibrant yellow roses accompanied by delicate white blossoms with pink-tinged centers, set against a neutral, off-white background. Sprigs of small blue accent flowers and sage-green foliage add depth and a naturalistic feel to the botanical study. The painting measures 15 inches by 15 inches (total framed dimensions likely slightly larger) and exhibits the characteristic brushwork and texture of post-war American floral art. It is housed in a period-correct, multi-tiered wooden frame featuring a dark mahogany-finish outer edge, a cream-colored inset liner, and a gilded gold-leaf inner border. Notable for its historical provenance as a California-made piece from the late 1950s, the artwork remains in good vintage condition. A small professional repair is noted on the reverse side of the canvas, which does not detract from the visual integrity of the front. The craftsmanship reflects the high quality of professional artisan oils from the era, showing a well-preserved impasto and a warm, inviting color palette typical of mid-century home decor.
