including button holes

With a flat surface

as it needs nothing other than to hang up somewhere to be admired

Plus the brick looks like a stage for a drama--or an arrangement of tiny things--waiting to happen

Alpine Flowers in Vases, c. 1920s-40s Bavarian Oil on Canvas Still Life with Mountains visionary artist including button holesI believe this oil on canvas painting is Bavarian with a view of the Alps in the background. I really like the combination of floral still life and mountainous landscape together in one painting, and with the couple of fallen floral sprigs nodding to the momento mori aspect of still life painting, too. Not a great masterpiece, but lovely, and a nice one to live with I think, and with a bit of a wistfulness to it that feels just right. 14" x 10 3 4",
