Mid-Century Impasto Oil Painting Floral Still Life in Gold Linen-Lined Frame
Annihilate the landfill, rescue a painter's thick-brushed love letter to irises and light
This is the kind of painting that hung in a Cambridge professor's study for decades—a lush impasto still life with irises, daylilies, and a moody harbor scene glimpsed through the window. Heavy palette knife work gives real texture here; you can practically feel the petals. Professionally framed with a linen liner and substantial gilt-and-walnut-toned wood molding. Artist signature visible lower right but not fully legible. The frame shows minor wear consistent with age, painting itself is clean and vibrant.
The D'Beetle Difference • Serious Impasto Technique: Thick, confident palette knife application creates dimensional flowers that catch the light beautifully. This isn't decorator art—it's someone who knew what they were doing.
• Gallery-Quality Framing: gilt-accented wood frame and cream linen liner. The kind of framing job that costs $400+ today.
• Signed Original Oil on Canvas: Signature present at lower right corner. Mid-century aesthetic with that moody teal palette and confident brushwork typical of 1960s-70s expressionist still life work.
