Onion Bottle with Lemons

This original still life study by contemporary artist Anne Songhurst boasts the beguiling facade of an Old Dutch masters painting as it is beautifully rendered in classical realism. The artist draws attention to the captivating character of attractive glassware and zesty fruits. Employing a traditional approach, the artist has built this piece up in thin layers to meticulously achieve a tangible image. This extends to depicting the subtle incongruence of textures between subject matter which is presented on a lavishly opulent white toned backdrop.  This piece is apprehended with virtuous precision and refined technical skill which is then combined with a palette of mimetic colours and the gentle implication of shadows and highlights. Painted in oils on the finest linen, this artwork is hand signed in the bottom left corner and presented in a complementary black frame.
