Pomegranate and bowl

8''x8'', oil on gessoboard - SOLD

I’ve had this little Japanese bowl for a long time and wanted something blue to offset the orange of the pomegranate.  It’s quite a warm blue and also quite a low-key colour so I think it worked ok.  I didn’t get to paint the inside of the pomegranate which was my next plan as I pinched it to use in a lamb pilaf, sprinkling the little jewels over the top.  The contrast with the corriander made it a work of art in itself.  I think my ”pomegranate period” might be over for a while.
