Oil on panel

In this piece, I wanted to let the softness of earthy tones take the spotlight. The subtle pewter, aged glass, and pale neutrals create a beautifully restrained palette that lets the bright pop of orange fruit shine. Painted alla prima (wet into wet), this piece draws from the elegance of 18th-century French still-life masters like Chardin. There’s a calm here, a quiet sophistication, that feels as timeless as it does grounded. A perfect choice for collectors who love subtle color and refined simplicity.

An original oil painting of a still life in a traditional style.
