Still Life in Two Worlds – 16″ x 20″ Oil on canvas – $1200
A jar of late-summer zinnias, a lemon, and a bowl of fruit gather in the foreground—grounded, familiar, and sunlit. Behind them, another scene quietly unfolds. The geometric rhythm of a picnic cloth meets the color fields of a different painting. This creates a second world within the frame. The two moments seem to merge, where memory and observation meet in one suspended breath.
This painting reflects my interest in how time layers itself within a still life. The freshness of cut flowers reminds us of the past. The quiet order of the table fully belongs to the present. In this way, Still Life in Two Worlds becomes a gentle meditation on perception. It explores how we hold what is before us. It also examines how imagination quietly fills in what came before.
As autumn deepens, the days grow shorter. This painting feels like a small reminder to notice the brightness that still lingers. It reflects the light that connects now and then. It also bridges the seen and the remembered.
I always enjoy hearing how others connect with a piece—what it stirs, reminds, or invites. If Still Life in Two Worlds speaks to you, I’d love to know and help it find a beautiful home.
