Wilting Rose of Sharon

WILTING ROSE OF SHARON Acrylic on Wood Panel | 12" × 12" | Custom Framed in Maple Oak Floater Frame

There is more beauty in the wilting than the bloom. It just takes longer to see.

Wilting Rose of Sharon catches a hibiscus shrub at the moment most painters look away — past the peak, the petals loosening and browning at the edges, the flowers beginning their return to the green world they came from. And it is extraordinary. The white blooms glow against the deep forest green of the foliage with a luminosity that only comes from paint applied with genuine attention and genuine love — impasto marks building each petal with the physical confidence of someone who has looked very carefully and found something worth recording.

The colour is everything here — the whites are not white but cream and grey and the faintest blush and the warm tan of a petal releasing its hold on itself gracefully. The greens behind are every shade from near-black shadow to acid lime where light breaks through. A flash of blue sky at the top — barely there, perfectly placed — reminds you that above this intimate, slightly melancholy garden the world continues in its own unbothered way.

Painted on wood panel and presented in a custom maple oak floater frame that gives the work a warm, natural gallery-ready presence — this arrives complete, considered and ready to find its wall.

Wilting Rose of Sharon is a small painting about the extraordinary beauty of things on their way out. Which is, if you think about it, most beautiful things.
