This still life, titled "A Quiet Celebration," is a reflection on the sincere and beautiful moments of personal joy that often accompany a birthday or other celebration.
 
In this painting, the single, vibrant bloom in the modest jar and the solitary slice of cake, (cheesecake to be exact), are meant to represent a special occasion that is sincere, understated, and meaningful.
 
Moving away from the 'over the top' spectacle of layered cakes and excessive decoration, this image invites you to appreciate a moment of quiet gratitude and personal indulgence. It is a reminder that the most profound celebrations are often the ones we share with ourselves, and I hope this piece brings a little bit of that quiet joy to its owner.
 
The acrylic painting is 7" x 5", and on a smooth artist panel board.  It will need to be framed.  The frame in the photo IS NOT INCLUDED.
