Jug & Pears – acrylic on board – 33 cm x 26 cm

Sometimes a simple composition without too much content is all that is needed to create a nice looking still life. The subject and the muted colours on display here gives it a slight nod back to the old masters still lifes. I certainly enjoyed painting the subtle bumpiness of the pears, it makes an interesting juxtaposition with the perfection of the jug.
