Walnut Oil and Apple
(18" x 24", oil on canvas)

The "oomph" of this painting comes mainly from the use of high contrast. The stark white bottle against the blue-black background is somewhat softened by the organic shape and muted tone of the leaves. The red wax seal picks up the red of the apple, almost like an accent color in a decorating scheme.
