Mixed media florals in gold frame

This textured Abstrace mixed media floral painting was inspired by a newspaper clipping I found in a small box among my Grandmother’s things. The poem, which was written in the beginning layers of this painting is titled “Faith” The poem is included on a certificate of authenticity.

This layered mixed media painting is a heartfelt tribute to the quiet strength and faith of my grandmother. Handcrafted with rich texture and symbolism, the piece features collage elements like vintage doilies, sewing patterns, newspaper clippings, and sketchbook pages—each chosen to echo the warmth of her home and the stories she shared.

A vibrant floral arrangement blooms from the canvas, made with a mix of painted acrylic and dried paint skins (peeled off the painter’s palette) and is inspired by the gardens she lovingly tended. The vase, pieced together like one of her handmade quilts, honors her creativity with care. Genuine 24k gold leaf glimmers throughout the piece, representing the priceless legacy left by a gentle, faithful spirit.

Layer by layer, this floral wall art reveals hidden details and emotional depth, offering something new with every glance. A soulful, heirloom-quality work for art collectors who treasure meaning, memory, and beauty.

Poem - “Faith”:

Skeptics say there is no God; That does not make it true. I see him in the morning sun And on roses drenched with dew. I see him in the rainbow That spans the summer sky: I see him in all nature, I’m sure he’s often nigh. A million stars are in the sky; Much could be hidden there - Heavenly mansions for all I know, And joy beyond compare. A master hand has planned it all; Human minds cannot conceive. The only thing we need to have Is faith just to believe. - E. Brothers
