Bedstraw Basket 2006

Stefan Caltia's 2006 painting "Bedstraw Basket" depicts a woman standing atop a black animal in a golden landscape. She wears a long, green and brown skirt and holds a basket full of plants on her back. A tiny bird perches on a delicate line, adding a whimsical element to the scene. The minimalist style and muted color palette create a serene and contemplative mood, characteristic of Caltia's artistic vision. The painting evokes themes of nature, tranquility, and the simple life.
