Where’s the Stilton? fig original painting

‘Where's the Stilton?’ captures a beautiful moment of serene simplicity, albeit one complicated by a missing ingredient! This elegant miniature focuses on two fig halves, their deep, complex burgundy flesh contrasting exquisitely with the pale, calming duck egg coloured tablecloth on which they rest. The backdrop is a harmonious aqua tone, creating a cool, sophisticated palette that highlights the subtle textures and rich colouring of the fruit. This study is an exercise in quiet refinement, finding drama in the soft, natural curves and the gentle fall of light.

The painting's witty title adds a charming layer of domestic humour, reminding the viewer that even the most carefully composed still life is subject to real-life interruptions (and hungry teenagers!). This framed original art piece represents the sophisticated side of the 'Food Bites' collection, proving that healthy food can be utterly luxurious. Its cool, watery tones make it a beautiful pairing for other pieces with aqua or blue backgrounds, like ‘Don’t Call Me Fruit!’(pomegranate), or for contrast, introduce a piece with intense warmth, such as the chilli or onion studies. It's a delightful piece of affordable art with a memorable story.
