Apples in a Brass Bowl

This contemporary still life composition by Anne Songhurst is painted in classic realism. The artist executes the piece in many thin layers to accurately depict the textures and details of the objects with a level of genuine tangibility. The fruits sit in a beautiful silver bowl and are imbued with exquisite highlights which give them a sense of freshness and sumptuousness. Careful attention to reflectivity of the opulent oriental tablecloth on the silverware unites the elements in the composition. A solid colour background draws attention to the subject matter which is painted with equal consciousness to produce a work of art that is pleasing to observe. This painting is rendered in oils on board, framed, hand signed by the artist and ready to be displayed.
