Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
This is an image of an oil painting on canvas from my Still Life series. It depicts pumpkins or squashes on a hand-painted Moroccan ceramic platter. I chose a limited, complementary (orange and blue) palette of warm, rich Autumn colours evocative of the Autumn season within a cozy, rustic domestic setting. The round shapes of the vegetables are echoed in the arabesque and dotted patterns on the platter, and contrasted by the square geometric patterns on the table cloth. I cut open one of the pumpkins in order to break up the solid spheres and produce some shapes that more closely repeated the patterns on the platter. The larger cut pumpkin portion also resembles and symbolizes a heart, which, in this theme, represents the kitchen as the heart of the home.

This is a beautiful painting, Fiona. Love the colors and the geometric pattern of the fabric contrasted with the pattern of the plate. L/F
