Happy Hour #86

$375.00

This original acrylic painting beautifully captures a still life scene featuring a pristine white pitcher brimming with lush white hydrangeas. Nestled just behind the pitcher is a dark, elegant bottle of Merlot, while in front, a filled glass of wine invites you in with its rich, deep color. A rustic board holds a wedge of creamy cheese and a vibrant purple plum, adding to the composition’s warmth and charm.

The striking use of color immediately draws the eye, with the crisp, bright whites of the pitcher and flowers dramatically contrasting against the deep, jewel-toned hues of the wine and the surrounding background. This contrast not only highlights the delicate beauty of the hydrangeas but also adds a lush richness to the overall piece. Intense purples, reds, and subtle greens come together to create a vivid low country feeling that is both inviting and sophisticated.

Dynamic, expressive brushstrokes give texture and depth throughout the painting, capturing the natural movement of petals, the smooth glass surface, and the rustic texture of the cheese board. These strokes add an impressionistic energy, making the scene feel alive and intimate, as if you could almost smell the fresh hydrangeas and taste the ripe plum alongside the wine
