Apples - Original Oil Painting - Fruit Still Life - 7.5x10 inches

A bold, juicy statement of light and luxury.

"Apples" is a radiant original oil painting that elevates a classic still life into a vibrant, high-energy masterpiece. Based on a beautiful reference photo by the talented Clinton Hobart, the composition features a tight cluster of five bright red apples, each rendered with thick, confident brushstrokes that capture their glossy, reflective skin.

The fruit rests on a light-colored surface and is set against a moody, heavily textured purple and pink background, creating a strikingly modern color harmony. Hiding beneath the layers of pigment is a luxurious gold underpainting; if you look closely at the edges of the fruit and within the textured strokes, you will see radiant flecks of gold peeking through, giving the entire piece a warm, vibrating depth.

Painted on a 19x25 cm (approx. 7.5x10 inch) handmade primed wood panel, this artwork showcases Alai’s signature impasto technique. The heavy application of oil paint gives the white and yellow highlights a sculptural, three-dimensional quality that makes the apples look remarkably juicy and tactile. It is a sophisticated, colorful centerpiece for a dining room, a bright kitchen, or a professional art collection.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Radiant Underpainting: The hidden gold base layer adds a unique, luminous warmth that catches the light and makes the reds and purples pop with incredible intensity.
• Masterful Gloss: Thick, expressive oil strokes perfectly capture the sharp, mirror-like highlights on the fruit, creating an undeniable sense of volume.
• Collaborative Spirit: This piece is a beautiful interpretation of a reference by still life master Clinton Hobart, blending his classic composition with Alai's modern, textured style.
