"Black Eyed Susan's" is a captivating rustic still life painting that measures 7-5/8" x 12". It showcases a vintage metal container brimming with a vibrant bouquet of Black Eyed Susans, their bright yellow petals contrasting beautifully against their dark centers. Sprinkled among the flowers are green leaves and a few delicate white berries, adding an extra layer of charm to the arrangement.
The container sits gracefully on a lace-edged tablecloth, which rests on a table, offering a touch of elegance to the scene. The backdrop is a calming, slightly textured teal color that perfectly complements the vivid hues of the flowers. This painting is set within a decorative, dark-colored, arched frame, enhancing its overall visual appeal and drawing the viewer's eye into the composition.

The creation process of this piece involved unique techniques such as the use of a palette knife to add texture, stenciling for an additional layer of interest, and intricate penwork to bring unique details to life. Inspired by the Black Eyed Susan's growing just outside Chris's window, this piece captures the simple yet profound beauty of these flowers in a breathtaking and serene setting.
