Apple Bottle

I painted this still life to explore the quiet of ordinary things. A bottle and two apples rest on gray, their edges softened by impressionistic brushwork that lets light and shadow dance across the surface. I worked with a restrained palette, building depth through tone rather than bright color—each stroke meant to draw you into a moment of stillness. It's a study in how simple objects, when truly observed, reveal unexpected beauty and presence. 5x7 raised panel
