Copper Pot with Pomegranates

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 pomegranates sit next to the copper pot 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 copper unites the elements in the composition and is a beguiling detail. A solid colour background draws attention to the subject matter which is painted to infuse it with magnitude, producing 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.
