Yellow Star of Bethlehem Oil Painting – The Garden of the Theotokos Series
This original Yellow Star-of-Bethlehem oil painting 10x10cm is part of The Garden of the Theotokos Series, an evolving collection of small-format floral works inspired by sacred garden symbolism. The small, star-shaped yellow blossoms of Gagea lutea are rendered in delicate layers of oil paint, capturing their quiet presence and subtle radiance.
Known for its early spring appearance, Yellow Star-of-Bethlehem carries associations of renewal, light, and the quiet awakening of nature. In this painting, the fine structure of the petals and their luminous yellow tones are carefully observed and translated into soft, precise brushwork. The composition emphasizes simplicity and clarity, allowing the small flowers to emerge gently within the space of the painting.
Each painting in The Garden of the Theotokos Series, including this Yellow Star-of-Bethlehem, is framed in a custom-made white frame. The frame is conceived as an extension of the artwork, enhancing the contemplative and intimate quality of the piece.
The 10x10cm format invites close viewing, where subtle textures, fine details, and delicate color transitions become more visible. This painting is especially suited for collectors who appreciate understated floral compositions and small-scale botanical works.
Collectors can explore other works from The Garden of the Theotokos Series here, including Japanese Cherry Blossom, Sour Cherry Blossom, Chicory, Japanese Quince, White Calla, Peach Blossom, Elderflower, Periwinkle, Rose, Pear Blossom, Crab Apple Blossom, Kerria japonica, Quince Blossom, Black Hollyhock, Chrysanthemum, Jasmine, and Veronica persica.
