“Bruised Fruit Study” is an 8x10 original oil painting that leans into those deep, late summer tones I’m always drawn to. The moody hydrangeas and dark plums feel rich and textured, and I love the sliced fruit resting casually on the counter like a quiet kitchen moment that just happened. It has that old world, golden hour feeling without being fussy or overly styled. This piece brings warmth and depth into a space, especially in a kitchen, dining area, or layered into a gallery wall where you want something a little darker and more grounded to balance out softer pieces.
