Violets in a Perfume Bottle

Violets seem to be the only flowers to grow during the blistering Winters in Lyonville. We get our fair dusting of snow each year and once that gives way the violet blooms. It's a little touch of cheer. The vase is an old perfume bottle I found in the forest. It still had it's lid attached and a tiny bit of viscous amber liquid inside. When I opened it I was struck by a heady "old world" fragrance, musky with hints of violet.

This was a joy to paint. I love working with bristly brushes and thick, buttery oil paint. This piece is painted on a deep edge canvas with painted sides and ready to hang. If you'd prefer I can have this custom framed at an additional cost. It would make a lovely gift.

**Please Note: This painting is still drying and will take two weeks before it is ready to send. When purchased I will keep you informed of the drying progress and have it shipped out to you ASAP.
