Rocha Doré
(12" x 24", oil on canvas)

I am drawn to the simple dignity of cast iron, but it can be difficult to paint. Cast iron absorbs light and can often appear lifeless on the canvas. I took some liberties with this pot in an attempt to reveal it's austere beauty... and I think it is the perfect foil for the glowing Rocha pears.
