Flowers and Fruit Vintage Still Life Painting sea lion with ball with a honey-mustardy-brown glaze

with a honey-mustardy-brown glaze

a drawing has the capacity to cut to the chase and nail a truth with alacrity

It would once have had a little flip down cigarette rest inside

The mottled matte periwinkle blue glaze is pretty perfect as well

and some crazing to the glaze itself

Flowers and Fruit Vintage Still Life Painting sea lion with ball with a honey-mustardy-brown glazeThis flea market found oil painting on canvas catches me off guard every time I look at it: the reverberation between those bright orange oranges and that terrific off key green background gives it a startling pop; it just completely jumps off the wall. I don't know that the artist it is signed Elysik was a great painter, but I think their sense of color was pretty fantastic, and this painting, no small feat, feels totally alive. It measures 16"x20"
