About this work

This painting shows a simple scene of everyday objects. A small bird sits on a branch above a pile of rocks and a folded cloth. On the cloth are a few yellowish fruits and a bowl with more inside. The colors are muted—greens, browns, and grays—with a few brighter spots where the light hits. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the rocks and the bird’s feathers. This makes the painting feel almost three-dimensional, like you could reach out and touch it. If you like this style, look up impasto.
