Original Painting by Mechelle Flowers — “Quiet Branches” 8x10 Framed in Gold Floating Frame

Quiet Branches is an original 8 x 10 acrylic painting on canvas featuring a minimalist still life of budding branches arranged in a clear glass vessel. The muted palette of soft gray, warm cream, and deep indigo creates a calm, contemplative mood.

The composition relies on negative space and vertical gesture rather than dense detail. The dark linear branches contrast with the translucent glass form, while subtle tonal shifts in the background prevent the surface from feeling flat. Reflections and soft shadowing ground the vase, giving the small format weight and balance.

This piece leans understated and modern. Its restrained color story makes it highly versatile across interiors, from traditional to contemporary. Framed in a gold floating frame, it works beautifully in a small vignette, bookshelf styling, office nook, or layered gallery wall.
