Butterfly and jade jar

Acrylic on stretched canvas.

16x20x1"

This peaceful still life features a bright green jade jar, a contrasting vintage metal pitcher with rainbow oxidation, and old tattered books. This artwork reflects beauty and harmony between color and composition. Cold and warm chroma adds calmness and balance to this artwork. The delicate Monarch butterfly adds dynamic to the whole composition. This realistic painting was created in a meticulous old Dutch school manner with lavish attention to detail.
