Parchment Flowers is embossed with some wonderful manuscript detailing.  Which makes this composition as attractive as it is endearing.  Flowers have always played a very important role in society.  Virtually, since we became ‘civilised’, we have used them symbolically. For eons, we have grown and preserved them, because they hold such great meaning to us. 

Parchment Flowers depicts a moment cherished.  The envelopes, the manuscript?  A letter from someone dear?  Red roses signify love.  Here, one in bud and one in bloom.  Significant of a friendship or love that has blossomed over time.  One that now, will be preserved in parchment forever.  As has been the long time tradition .

Here, the essence of that concept has been captured and preserved on canvas, to be enjoyed over and over again.  How the painting has been composed, gives an effective three dimensional feel to the painting.  Great care has been taken to include the specific detailing, which ultimately creates the authentic look and feel of this piece.  When we see all these ideas together, one has the genuine impression that this picture fell straight from the pages of someone’s memoirs.
