Floral Still Life Painting of Roses by E. Sims

This is a vertical format floral still life oil or acrylic painting on canvas, depicting a delicate spray of roses. The central composition features two large, fully bloomed roses in shades of deep crimson and soft pink, accompanied by smaller rosebuds in varying stages of opening. The artist has utilized a soft, impressionistic background with blended pastel tones of cream, light blue, and pale yellow, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The brushwork shows visible texture, particularly in the petals and the thorny stems. The piece is signed in the lower right corner with a red script signature that appears to read 'E. Sims'. It is housed in an ornate, multi-tiered carved wooden frame with a gold gilt finish. The frame includes a secondary linen-textured inner border or liner with a thin gold-painted wood fillet, characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative framing styles (circa 1960s-1980s). The condition appears good with no significant paint loss visible, though the frame shows minor age-related wear and light dust accumulation. The overall craftsmanship suggests a well-executed decorative art piece designed for domestic interior display.
