Original artwork description
Can you remember the mesmerizing scent of jasmine flowers?
It is the ancient smell of calm. The cool beauty of the night. You know the jasmine flower only opens after dark, when the sun sets and the temperature drops. The small white flowers look like the stars painted on the ceilings of the tombs of pharaohs.
The ancients knew the power of jasmine. The name is Persian. It means “a gift from God.” The Persians, the Greeks the Egyptians all knew it had healing properties.
Recent studies show that inhaling the molecules of jasmine oil transmits messages to the limbic system of the brain, the area involved in controlling emotions.
For me, the scent of jasmine flowers triggers fond memories from my childhood.
I hope this painting will trigger some pleasant memories for you, as well.
This is an original oil painting done from life, in sight-size.
This artwork is sold unframed but, if you prefer, I can provide it fitted a modern box frame for a very reasonable additional cost. Please send me a message prior to ordering.
