About this work

This painting shows a tabletop with everyday objects. There’s a yellow pitcher, a greenish fruit, a small yellow onion, and a few books stacked unevenly. The colors are bold—lots of yellow, blue, and gray—with sharp, angular brushstrokes that make the shapes look almost geometric. The way the objects are arranged feels a little off-kilter, like they were quickly sketched. The light hits the table from the side, making some areas brighter than others. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
