Oil on canvas, framed in Australian Natural Ash
Artwork size: 48.5 x 41.5cm

A still life of a fish knife and fork resting on a lace doily, seen from above. Painted alla prima, this intimate work celebrates colour, gesture and light. Cream handles glow warmly against the cool blue-steel of the blades, which sit on the pale lilac-grey centre of the doily, dotted with a delicate ring of beading. The lace edge is built from loose, textured strokes of white and grey, and the whole piece is set against a rich, earthy ground of burnt sienna. The result is a quiet, graphic composition with a nostalgic, heirloom feel.
