An original oil painting of sunflowers in a dark ceramic vase, executed in expressive impasto brushwork and presented in a linen-wrapped frame with a fine gold inner lip.

The painting changes with the light — warm and domestic in the morning, the vase pulling darker and heavier by evening. The oil paint has real texture: thick strokes of amber, ochre, and rust, laid down with a practiced confidence. The canvas carries a signature and what appears to be a date in the lower right corner; the artist has not been further confirmed, and the painting is offered for exactly what it is.

The linen frame shows honest wear at the corners. The gold bead remains bright.
