A single rose stands suspended in a clear glass of water — but it’s not alone. Nestled quietly at the bottom is a small guest: a ladybug, unnoticed at first glance, yet essential to the scene. A Guest within the Glass is a study in balance and discovery, where a classical still life gives way to subtle narrative.
Painted in oil on a 9×12 inch cradled wood panel, this piece brings together soft natural light, rich texture, and a palette of quiet greens and rose tones. The minimal composition creates a sense of calm, while the unexpected presence of the guest invites reflection. It is a moment shared — between bloom and insect, simplicity and story.
The painting is signed on the front and ships unframed. The cradled wood panel is finished on all sides and comes ready to hang, offering a modern alternative to traditional framing.
