These are the kind of pieces that I love for Warmth & Cheer. Little original oil paintings, often by amateur painters add the most original touch to décor! Maybe they are on a theme that is part of your gallery wall, maybe they represent a memory or historical event, maybe you just like the colors! They enhance any corner or display they grace.

The traditionally staid fruit bowl still life has some fun upgrades in this piece! The background has a bright yellow base with shadowing that extends throughout and, although dark in some spots, it really compliments the items well. There is quite a bit of texture in the piece. The bowl, the fruit and the candlestick all have white textured accents. The color play on the bowl and the grapes is my favorite part of the piece. The fruit is realistic and colorful.

There is no signature that I can find. The painting is on a simple piece Morilla Company Hand Made Canvas Panel. The edges all the way around are scuffed and have paint loss which leads me to believe it was once in a frame. The corners are slightly scuffed. The piece lies flat. I think it still looks good, unframed and would lean on a mantel or shelf well. But, the right frame would make it shine! There is really wonderful details in the shadows and light play and other elements of the composition. This is calling out to be included in a gallery wall or sitting alone on a mantel or shelf, it works either way.

It's really charming!
