Floral and botanical oil paintings
Ruby Read’s floral and botanical oil paintings offer a quieter, more meditative counterpoint to her expressive portraiture. Blending delicate observation with bold mark making, Ruby’s botanical original artwork captures the fleeting beauty of nature through the textured lens of oil paint.
While her figurative work explores the complexities of identity and self perception, Ruby’s floral artwork provides space for pause and contemplation. These pieces are not merely decorative; they are emotional landscapes in their own right, rooted in memory, seasonality, and the simple act of looking closely.
Drawing inspiration from vintage botanical prints and the natural ephemera of daily life, Ruby’s approach to botanical art is painterly and instinctive. She avoids polished realism in favour of texture and mood, building each image through thick, expressive layers of oil. The result is a distinctive fusion of observation and imagination: blooms that feel alive, shifting, and slightly surreal.
Ruby’s original floral art brings tactile richness and subtle emotional weight. Her use of impasto, visible brushwork, and unusual colour palettes sets her work apart from traditional botanical studies. These are flowers not just seen, but felt- full of presence, gesture, and atmosphere.
Botanical art for contemporary interiors
Ruby’s floral paintings sit beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors. Their balance of abstraction and familiarity makes them particularly suited to homes that embrace natural forms and artistic expression.
As with all of Ruby’s work, each botanical painting is a one of a kind piece. Collectors looking for botanical original artwork that merges classic subject matter with a modern sensibility will find her floral art both compelling and timeless.
