Still-life with Sad Flower

$250.00

Oil on panel, 6 x 4 × 7/8 inches, 2025

Still Life with Sad Flower centers on a single wilted hosta bloom set in a bright yellow vessel. The composition is simple and direct, bringing attention to the contrast between the withered purple petals and the solid, grounded form of the pot. Light, muted neutrals surround the subject, allowing the small shifts in color and brushwork to stand out. The painting carries a quiet, observational quality—Cahill’s steady, measured attention to the way objects rest in space and how color holds emotional weight without sentimentality.


For collectors, curators, or galleries interested in learning more, additional images and details are available upon request. The panel’s sides are finished in natural varnished wood, as shown in the accompanying photos.
