The Foragers Table – 10″ x 8″ Oil on canvas $375

This still life gathers together the earthiness of mushrooms with the vibrancy of pattern and cloth. The deep tones of the vessel and the dried hydrangeas contrast with the bold orange textile. They create a dynamic interplay between natural forms and human-made design. The mushrooms, humble yet full of character, ground the composition in simplicity. They remind us of the quiet abundance found in the woods and fields.

As part of Table Top Stories, The Forager’s Table reflects on our personal narrative. It considers how what we bring home becomes part of this story. This is true whether the items are freshly gathered or carefully chosen. These objects, side by side, suggest the meeting of nature and domestic life, a place where nourishment and beauty intersect. It is a reminder that the table is more than a surface. It is a gathering place. Here, stories of season, memory, and care continue to unfold.
