Pea Seeds

The primary subjects in this small oil painting are a transparent jar lying on its side with a few seeds spilled from it and its round orange-checked lid. The seeds are scattered around the jar and lid. The painting is executed in a painterly style with visible brush strokes and a limited palette dominated by earth tones, oranges, and grays. The lighting appears muted, suggesting an indoor setting with soft illumination. The background is non-descriptive, providing a neutral space that brings focus to the still life arrangement. The edges of the metal-core support have a rough texture, with the signature at the bottom right corner. The artwork rests on a black iron easel.

Part of a 'Saved Seeds' series. For Jim Cicotte, who had a most generous heart.

Gold-foiled edges. Ready to be hung unframed or displayed on miniature iron easel as shown. (included at buyer's request).
