Petit Point Oval, The Blue and the Rose, Gold

Oval. Blue squares leading down to a rose, the two colours sharing the frame equally.

The top half is mostly blue, small scattered squares drifting across the white ground like the suggestion of a forget-me-not. Then the rose takes over at centre, deep crimson and pink, with green pushing in from both sides. It's a more divided composition than most. Two distinct moments in one small frame, the airy blue above and the dense floral below. The long oval gives them both room. They don't compete. They just sit together, the way flowers in a garden do.

Set in a hypoallergenic aluminum frame finished in gold, with a hand-formed wire bale at the top. Comes with an 18" gold chain. $44 CAD.
