Vintage Oil

This beautiful painting by Ruth Benner captures the essence of nature's beauty with a still life of flowers in a vase and a toy figurine from her travels. The painting is a medium-sized, handmade, original piece that is signed by the artist and comes with the original solid wood custom frame. The framed piece measures 1.5 inches deep, 15 inches in height, and 19 inches in width. It is signed by the artist in the lower corner. The colors include peach, grey, blue, and soft warm tan.
The painting's style is traditional, with an impressionist touch, and its theme revolves around nature, cottagecore, and travel. Ruth Benner (born 1897) was an artist in Adrian, Michigan, who worked mostly in the 1930s and 1940s, so this midcentury piece was likely produced before 1950. She traveled extensively all over the world and visited China and Japan. The figurine in this still life probably was a souvenir from her travels.
The artist's address was
511 State Street in Adrian, Michigan.
I have enjoyed this painting for many years, but I am downsizing now, so it needs a new home. This would be a lovely gift for your sister, mother, friend, bride, or anyone who loves the quirky maximalist vibe. It will look great on your gallery wall.
You will get the oil painting in the original frame that you see in the pictures. Any props, measuring sticks, etc, are not included.
