Mid-Century Impressionist Floral Still Life Painting

This is an original oil painting on canvas or artist board, depicting an impressionist floral still life. The composition features a central bouquet of flowers in shades of peach, orange, and deep red, accented by smaller white blossoms, set within a dark green rounded vase. Significant impasto technique is evident, particularly in the floral petals, providing a three-dimensional texture. The background and surrounding foliage are rendered in cool tones of teal, blue, and grey with energetic, sweeping brushstrokes that suggest movement. A signature, which appears to read 'Kelly' or similar, is located in the bottom left corner. The artwork is housed in a multi-layered period frame consisting of a dark wood outer moulding with a beaded gilt inner border and a textured linen or beige fabric liner. The style and framing are characteristic of mid-20th-century decorative art, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s. The condition appears fair to good: the frame shows minor surface scuffs and dust accumulation on the linen liner, and the painting surface shows no immediate signs of cracking or flaking, though a professional cleaning might reveal brighter tones beneath aged varnish.
