Blanched peaches, Colander

Original oil painting on deep profile wrapped canvas. Wood frame handcrafted by the artist using reclaimed oak slats used in local wine making.

When there are more than one item in my still life paintings, I will often chose them by ensuring that the first letter of each is consecutive in the alphabet. For this painting, Blanched peaches, Colander the consecutive letters are B and C. 

This vibrant still life captures the timeless charm of home canning. Freshly blanched peaches, their golden hues glowing with warmth, rest in a white colander, ready for the next step in their transformation. The composition celebrates the art of preserving summer’s abundance, evoking the simple joy of gardening and the comforting rituals of the kitchen.

My dear friend Sheryl took this photo, and with her permission, I painted it in almost the exact compostion of her photo.

Painted in a contemporary realistic style, Blanched Peaches, Colander offers a nostalgic nod to the traditions of homemade preservation while fitting beautifully into modern interiors. Ideal for collectors who treasure the intersection of art, nature, and the enduring beauty of everyday objects.

Bring this piece into your space and savor the essence of garden-to-table living year-round.
