Mushrooms and glass on windowsill - Original Oil Painting - Sunlit Still Life - 10x10 inches

A quiet kitchen moment bathed in radiant sunlight.

"Mushrooms and glass on windowsill" is a luminous original oil painting that transforms a simple culinary preparation into a study of light and color. The composition features a crystal-clear glass of water with a straw, casting mesmerizing refractions of blue, purple, and teal across the surface. Beside it, earthy brown mushrooms sit on a delicate, floral-patterned saucer, their organic textures contrasting with the smooth glass and the blue-handled knife waiting nearby.

Painted on a hand-primed cradled wood canvas, this piece captures the specific, warming quality of afternoon sun. Alai’s signature thick impasto brushstrokes bring the scene to life—from the sharp, cool lavender shadows to the bright, sunny yellow highlights that wash over the windowsill.
