SUNLIT STILLNESS

Size: 24x20” inches on canvas

By Captain Casual

“Sunlit Stillness” is a vibrant reinterpretation of the classic floral still life — bold, expressive, and unapologetically saturated.

Three radiant flowers bloom from a translucent glass vase, their petals glowing in fiery yellows and oranges against a deep indigo backdrop. The intense contrast between warm and cool tones creates a visual tension that feels alive — almost electric.

Set upon a red-and-gold grid surface, the composition feels structured yet spontaneous. The geometry of the table grounds the piece, while the textured blue background adds movement and emotion. One flower gently bows downward, introducing a quiet note of vulnerability amid the brightness.

The strong shadow cast by the vase anchors the painting in light — suggesting late afternoon sun pouring into a room, freezing a fleeting moment in time.

This piece represents:

• Joy with depth

• Warmth against contrast

• Structure meeting expression

• The beauty of ordinary moments made extraordinary

“Sunlit Stillness” feels nostalgic yet contemporary — like a timeless kitchen table scene reimagined through bold color theory and expressive mark-making.

A perfect statement for collectors who love powerful color, strong composition, and florals that carry personality.

Because even the simplest bouquet can hold a room.
