Walnuts - Original Oil Painting - Nut Still Life - 6 inches

Cracking open a world of texture and color.

"Walnuts" is an earthy and textural original oil painting that elevates a humble snack into a study of light. The composition features a trio of walnut forms: a whole, rugged shell, a cracked half revealing the complex nut inside, and a single loose golden kernel. The nuts are painted in rich shades of ochre, burnt sienna, and gold, glowing warmly against a cool, serene background of lavender and teal blue.

Painted on a 15x15 cm (6x6 inch) handmade wood panel, this piece highlights the contrast between the rough, craggy exterior of the shells and the smooth, oily surface of the nut meat. Alai’s signature thick brushwork adds a sculptural quality to the subject, making the nuts appear three-dimensional and crunchy. It’s a perfect little piece for a kitchen or a cozy reading nook, bringing a sense of warmth and harvest season to the room.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Warm & Cool Contrast: The complementary pairing of orange-toned nuts against a blue background creates a vibrant, eye-catching harmony.
• Textural Depth: The impasto technique perfectly captures the intricate, brain-like texture of the walnut shells and kernels.
