A traditional original oil painting of a still life on panel, size 14″x11″.

This still life felt like an electric dance between warmth and coolness. I was captivated by the bold interplay of color—the vibrant oranges almost glowing beside the deep blue porcelain and silk  and the rich luster of the copper bowl. These are elements I return to again and again, not only for their beauty but for the stories they hold. The composition feels like a celebration—of abundance, of light, of the quiet elegance found in everyday objects.

What excites me most about this piece is how the elements radiate life. You can feel the citrusy brightness of the oranges, the cool elegance of the blue vase, and the grounded earthiness of the copper. Painted with loose, expressive brushwork and subtle shifts in value, this oil painting offers collectors a timeless scene full of vitality, warmth, and serenity—perfect for a kitchen, dining room, or anywhere you want to invite a little old-world charm and color.
