Peaches Against Blue

Bold, colourful peaches are stacked high - many halved - in this acrylic painting of fruit. The deep blue background and similar coloured bowl contrast beautifully against the orange, red and yellow tones of the peaches. 

This artwork sits confidently somewhere between the ultra dark, classical still life paintings and the bright, contemporary ones of today. It balances the weight of older art with the lightness of modern paintings. Visible brushstrokes give it a painterly style and the close crop demands attention.
