A striking still life painting from 1996, that captures a sprig of vibrant red rowan berries arranged in a deep cobalt blue vase, executed in oil onto canvas.

The clusters of berries, set against elongated yellow-green leaves, extend gracefully beyond the vase, with one branch resting gently on the white tabletop. The background, rendered in a soft blue, provides a serene contrast to the lively bursts of red and gold.

Executed in an expressive, modern style, the artist has used visible, confident brushstrokes that create texture and a sense of vitality throughout the composition. This still life radiates a sense of warmth and optimism, as the vivid red clusters burst with life against the calm, cool backdrop.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with a soft whitewash finish. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An energetic mid-century still life painting that depicts a bold arrangement of everyday objects rendered with expressive confidence, executed in oil onto board.

At the center stands a tall black pitcher with a sweeping handle, its form accentuated by patches of turquoise, white, and yellow that lend vibrancy and depth. In the foreground, two deep red onions and a bulb of garlic anchor the composition, their rounded shapes contrasting with the pitcher’s angular silhouette.

The artist has used a highly textured technique, layering thick strokes of oil paint that leave visible ridges across the surface. The palette is restrained yet powerful, dominated by black, grey, and white, with strategic bursts of colour to enliven the scene. The brushwork is vigorous and gestural, giving the objects a tactile, almost sculptural presence while retaining a sense of spontaneity and abstraction.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary silver painted wood frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
