A Golden Bower

A Golden Bower brings together golden roses and stylized foliage in a symmetrical botanical composition inspired by the ornament and graphic design of the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements. Bold pattern and crisp edges give it a vintage poster-like character, while the warm floral palette brings a softer, welcoming feel. A lovely choice for people drawn to decorative botanical art, historic design, and nature-inspired interiors.

This painting is a companion to A Rosy Bower, offering the same design in a contrasting rosy palette. Each may be enjoyed on its own, or the two can be displayed together as a complementary pair.

⚜️ UNDERSTORY: I don't know if it's because I'm a really slow designer—sometimes putting as many as 30 hours into the design alone—but once I've finished creating one and choosing a color palette, I can't help wondering what it would look like in another palette—or even another medium. I once considered calling these variations Sophie’s Choice, but that seemed awfully grim for a collection of flowers. So instead of choosing, I do them all!

A Golden Bower botanical gouache painting displayed as floral wall art in a home interior.

I am drawn to gouache for its velvety, matte surface and rich, opaque color, and increasingly make my own paints from artist pigments as part of the process. I often use the medium to explore the pattern, botanical forms, and decorative influences that find their way throughout my work.

Each gouache design is offered as a limited handmade edition of 25. Every painting in the edition is painted individually by hand—not printed or mechanically reproduced—so natural variations in color, brushwork, and detail make each one unique. Each finished painting is numbered as part of its edition.

Because your painting is created individually, please allow approximately 2–4 weeks before shipping.

All artwork prices include complimentary shipping within the contiguous U.S.
