Roses

Roses by the late Lowcountry watercolorist Gary Johnston is a joyful floral still life filled with color, movement, and warmth. Painted in Johnston's signature expressive style, vibrant crimson roses bloom from a simple vase while soft washes of blues, purples, and golds create a luminous background. A single apple resting below the arrangement adds an unexpected touch of balance and charm.

Known for his ability to capture both beauty and emotion with seemingly effortless brushwork, Johnston brings energy to this intimate composition without sacrificing its sense of elegance. The result is a timeless piece that feels equally at home in a coastal cottage, traditional Southern home, reading nook, dining room, or kitchen.

Professionally matted to a standard 16x20 size, Roses is ready to frame using any standard 16x20 ready-made frame—no custom framing required. We even carry a selection of ready-made frames here at Gray Man Gallery, making it easy to take this piece from gallery wall to your wall.

Whether you're a longtime collector of Gary Johnston's work or simply searching for a cheerful floral watercolor with lasting appeal, Roses offers a beautiful reminder of why Johnston remains one of the Lowcountry's most beloved artists.
