Red Roses in a Violet Light is a beautiful still-life fine art oil painting, capturing the elegance of red roses in a vase. The rose petals and leaves have been meticulously brought to life using a palette knife, creating textures that stand in relief to the background, giving the piece depth and a deeply tactile quality. ‘Flowers are one of my biggest inspirations and this piece featured roses from my West Sussex country garden . Painted in 2005 from my drawing room in the evening, the piece showcases warm light reflecting a violet hue through the window against the night sky.’
