Oil on Board

A lively mid-century still life composition filled with a variety of gourds, executed in oil onto board.

The gourds, in various shapes and sizes, are arranged in a casual yet thoughtfully balanced manner across a wooden table.

A large orange pumpkin sits prominently, its vibrant colour drawing the eye. Beside it, a black pumpkin also captures our interest with its colour contrast. Surrounding them are smaller gourds of different shapes—painted in hues of white, yellow, and orange.

The artist’s expressive brushstrokes create a sense of movement, capturing the quirkiness of the fruit.

With the use of a rich colour palette, the overall composition feels warm and inviting,

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting has very tiny dots of paint loss to its left side, as shown in close ups, but this does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame has scuffs and marks to its corners. less
