Christmas frame TV art: Poinsettias
Subscribe · out Nov 23Christmas & Winter playlistFramed prints

Christmas Frame TV art in 4K: sixteen old-master still lifes of red poinsettias. A silent 2-hour Christmas screensaver, background and wallpaper: frame TV art with no music, for your Samsung Frame TV or any smart TV.

These are done in the manner of an old Dutch flower painting: one generous arrangement on a dark wooden ledge, a single warm light falling from the left, and a deep, softly painted ground behind — navy, charcoal, oxblood, green-black. The poinsettias change from piece to piece — deep red, white, cream, pink-marbled, burgundy — and so do the vessels they sit in: an antique brass urn, a pewter jug, a copper pot, a willow basket, a blue-and-white porcelain jar, a moss-lined crate.

Poinsettias carry Christmas without the tinsel, so this one keeps working well past the 25th, into the quiet days of the new year.

It is made for a room that likes its Christmas rich, dark and a little old-fashioned.
