Floral Still Life Oil Painting by Todd Finkel

This item is an oil painting depicting a floral still life, framed in a simple wooden frame. The painting features three prominent pink or coral-colored flowers, possibly peonies or carnations, with green foliage, arranged within a clear glass pitcher or vase. The background is a soft, muted blue or light teal, suggesting a calm and understated setting. The brushwork appears somewhat loose and impressionistic, with visible texture from the paint application. The artist's signature, "Todd Finkel," is visible in the lower left quadrant of the painting, written vertically. The painting surface shows some minor signs of age, including subtle craquelure (fine cracks in the paint layer) and possibly some surface dirt or discoloration consistent with its age. There are no obvious signs of major damage like tears or chips. The wooden frame is a light to medium brown, possibly oak, with visible wood grain, and features a simple, flat profile. The corners of the frame appear to be mitered and well-joined, indicating standard craftsmanship. The overall condition of both the painting and the frame appears to be good for an item of its presumed age, likely mid-20th century, given the style. The clarity and simplicity of the composition contribute to a generally pleasant and approachable aesthetic.
