About the painting
This is the second in a series of floral studies I have made in oil and is from a photograph of a bunch of wild Forget me nots I saw on the path, whilst walking my dog in the Spring of 2025. I love the blue of the flowers and the overall natural composition of the small flowers. The shape of the branch at the bottom reminds me of hands in prayer, offering up the delicate flowers to be admired and enjoyed, as if cradling the petals as an offering of love and hope. The centre of each flower looks like a sun burst. As their name suggests, they do not last for very long, so I wanted to paint them as they can remain for longer and we do not forget the beauty of nature and Gods creation. In fact, my painting makes them bigger than real life, in true celebration of their intricate design. They are also the flower of the Virgin Mary, so neither do we forget her sacrifice and offering.
Ready to Hang
As framing is a personal choice, please note that all paintings are sold and shipped as unframed, as standard shipping practice for Painted canvases.
This painting features a 2cm gallery-wrap profile and arrives ready to hang, unframed with D-rings and high-quality picture wire on the back of the wooden stretcher bars. The edges are cleanly hand-painted, arriving completely ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
Framing
If you prefer a framed look, it is perfectly suited for a standard canvas float frame, which can be easily fitted by any local high-street framer. The D-rings can be unscrewed for the purpose of framing.
