This expressive 1965 still life by Lois Coen captures the tactile beauty of white blossoms in thick, painterly strokes. Rendered in acrylic on board, the flowers are bold and full of texture, with rich impasto techniques giving the petals a sculptural, almost three-dimensional quality. Soft ivory and cream tones define the blooms, while olive greens and deep browns add warmth and grounding to the composition. A subtle backdrop of cool grays and rusty orange brings contrast and balance. The arrangement is loosely organic rather than overly formal, evoking a sense of spontaneity and natural beauty. The brushwork is dynamic and confident, blending abstraction with floral realism in a style that feels modern yet rooted in mid-century expressionism.
The painting is signed in the lower left corner and is framed in a rectangular, layered wooden frame in dark brown tones with a woven-texture mat. The frame complements the earthy palette and adds vintage character to the piece.
