Part of Sherri Ehrlich’s Blossom Dearie Series, Autumn Dearie celebrates the lush, slightly unruly beauty of flowers as summer gives way to fall.

A generous bouquet of roses and blossoms spills from a richly painted vintage vessel, surrounded by curling botanical lines and layers of warm ochre, gold, rust and crimson. Cool notes of turquoise, emerald, lavender and pink weave through the composition, creating a lively counterpoint to the autumnal palette.

Built through expressive layers of acrylic and pastel, the painting moves between representation and abstraction. Flowers emerge, dissolve and reappear through energetic marks and textured passages, giving the work the feeling of a memory rather than a traditional still life.

Joyful, nostalgic and a little whimsical, Autumn Dearie brings together the recurring themes of the Blossom Dearie Series—flowers, color, music, memory and the beauty of imperfection.
