Jeweled Botanicals | An Exploration of How Color Holds Emotion
Each painting in Jeweled Botanicals lingers in its hues—their quiet temperaments, their tenderness, their melancholy. Color becomes a language here, speaking softly through tone and texture, capturing a feeling made physical. These works are less about depiction and more about presence: how a single shade can hold memory, emotion, and meaning.=
I love flowers. I mean, who doesn’t? (Though I do have a friend who claims not to—something I’m still convinced is denial.) There is something deeply poetic about floral still lifes rendered in a moody, monochromatic way. Stripped of excess, they feel contemplative—almost reverent. I can imagine Emily Dickinson with one of these paintings on her wall, its quiet companionship mirroring the solitude in which she wrote.
These works invite reflection on beauty in the midst of brokenness. They remind me to keep believing, to keep looking for the good, to continue choosing love—even when it feels fragile. Flowers, after all, are fleeting. And yet they return, again and again.
Jeweled Botanicals is a collection of original oil paintings on canvas, each exploring the quiet poetry of light, tone, and form through the still life of flowers. The palette is restrained, the mood contemplative… moody yet tender, timeless yet deeply personal. Together, the paintings evoke nostalgia and stillness, offering space to pause and feel.
The collection includes eight original works, including a set of three miniature paintings offered together.
