This still life radiates a cheerful and elegant harmony, pairing the vibrant warmth of fresh oranges with the delicate beauty of pink lilies. The patterned blue bowl adds a dynamic visual texture, complementing the soft folds of the white cloth and the rich teal backdrop. The interplay of color and detail invites the viewer to explore the composition, from the glossy citrus fruits to the intricate petals of the blooms.
Created during a still life class with guidance from my friend Pat Tucker, this piece highlights the value of small artistic challenges—like adding the patterned design on the bowl—that bring a scene to life. It’s a celebration of everyday beauty, full of warmth and charm.
The piece was varnished the piece to provide protection and ensure even sheen.
