This 16" x 12" oil painting on canvas panel by Oklahoma-based artist James Cobb is a quiet still life. The cool beige background and shadows portrayed in a deeper, muted purple create an excellent foundation to the overall composition. The vibrant purple eggplant shines with a slight reddish hue, and the mandarines are perhaps the most eye-catching subject of the work. The white petals of the blossoming flowers are held in a clear vase next to a simplistic blue and white tea cup and saucer.
The majority of Cobb's works are created using a thick application of paint to create a distinctive textural quality. The work is situated in a simplistic black frame with a metallic-gold border measuring 21.375" x 17.375" x 1.25".
