What We Gather, What We Keep

This oil still life brings together a few simple, familiar things.. a leafy
plant, a bowl of red grapes, a bottle of wine and a ripe mango
arranged on a woven tray. Warm browns, greens, reds and ochres
give the composition a quiet, homely feel, while the different shapes
and forms create balance within the arrangement.

Painted in oil on canvas, the piece looks at ordinary objects without
trying to make them grander than they are. A plant by the window,
fruit on a table, a bottle tucked behind them.. the kind of things we
pass by every day, but which can become unexpectedly beautiful
when we stop long enough to really look.

This piece is for someone who finds beauty in the everyday. A small
reminder that not everything has to be extraordinary to be worth
noticing.
