Rose for a Queen​

Oil on wood panel with gold leaf · 6" × 6"

​

Rose for a Queen is an intimate yet regal study of a single red rose, painted with the richness and depth of classical realism. The bloom unfolds in velvety crimson layers, each petal shaped through thin glazes of oil to reveal subtle variations of light and shadow.

​

The luminous gold-leaf background brings a quiet radiance to the piece, echoing the elegance of medieval iconography while allowing the rose to rise forward with striking presence. Soft reflections play across the gilded surface, shifting gently as the light changes—giving the artwork a living, timeless quality.

​

Despite its small scale, this painting carries the gravitas of a treasured keepsake. It feels both personal and iconic, like a token of devotion or a whispered offering of beauty.
