Ranunculus Reverie in Crimson gouache painting with stylized ranunculus flowers and a symmetrical medieval-inspired botanical design.

The Crimson Rosette

The Crimson Rosette centers a richly layered ranunculus within a decorative border of stylized foliage. There’s something of Arts and Crafts meets medieval ornament in its bold, symmetrical composition, with a hint of heraldry and illuminated manuscript design in the way the flower is framed by its foliage. Deep crimson, rosy pink, and muted greens give the painting a warm, romantic character, while the crisp edges and intricate petals invite a closer look. A bonnie choice for people drawn to floral art, historic design, and old-world interiors.

This painting is a companion to The Verdigris Rosette, offering the same design in a contrasting blue-green 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!

Ranunculus Reverie in Crimson gouache painting displayed as botanical 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.
