Pat McCarthy Hydrangea Watercolor in Raspberry Jasperware Urn, Gilt Framed

A signed original watercolor by Pat McCarthy: a full head of pale hydrangeas spilling from a raspberry-pink jasperware urn, its white neoclassical figures caught mid-procession around the bowl. The kind of small, careful painting that used to hang in a front hall or above a writing desk, the sort of thing someone chose once and never had reason to move.

Set in an antique gilt frame with a beaded inner edge and a linen mat, the gold gone soft and honeyed with age. The pink of the urn does all the work here, warm against the cool greens and creams of the flowers.

Hang it where you'll pass it every day. Homes are meant to be assembled slowly, and this is a piece to start with.

20" x 18". Light and graceful, for a kitchen, a hallway, a wall that wants a little summer.

Each piece is vintage or antique and has lived a life before finding its way to Tallmadge Ave; natural signs of age, wear, patina, and imperfections are part of its character and are to be expected. All pieces are sold as-is, and any notable condition issues are described in the product listing. That said, if it arrives damaged or isn't as described, we'll refund you in full, including shipping — since each piece is one of a kind, we can't simply send a replacement. Otherwise, returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Questions any time at christine@tallmadgeave.com — we're a two-person shop, and we answer.
