Oil on Heavy Paper

7” x 7”

This tiny oil painting was a challenge not only in the size but also in using a color palette that is restrained, with earthy ochres, muted greens, and rich umber lending the piece a quiet, vintage charm. I painted it for my husband as this is a favorite of his. The interplay of light and shadow models the physical forms but also evokes a sense of nostalgia, capturing a moment suspended in time when such a drink was savored leisurely, paired with the simple pleasure of fresh fruit.
