The Painted Pillow - Inspirations from the Rijksmuseum

 

CMI-048 Rijs Blue Bouquet A

CMI-049 Rijs Blue Bouquet B

This is a diptych pair of pillows inspired by a still life floral painting at the Rijsmuseum.  The date of the painting has been estimated at 1700 - 1799 and the artist is anonymous.  The strokes of paint used to enliven each flower from meticulous renderings of petals, stems and leaves give life to a beautiful bouquet.  A baby blue background offers an elegant backdrop.  ​

CMI-052 Green Oak Tree B

In this diptych an oak tree comes to life on a water color painting originally made by the artist George Andies Roth (1809 - 1887).  The work is a magnificent study of watercolor and the effects of light in nature.  This painting currently resides in the Rijksmuseum collection of fine arts.  ​
