Pink Still Life, 12"x10", Oil on Canvas

A vibrant, contemporary take on the classic still-life tradition from local Charlottesville-based artist Julie Calhoun. Pink Still Life brings together bold color, expressive brushwork, and an unexpected modern palette that instantly lights up a room. The composition centers a sculptural pear surrounded by citrus and a red apple, all set against planes of saturated pink, warm yellow, and soft neutrals.

The artist’s layered strokes and confident texture give the painting a sense of movement and immediacy. It feels both fresh and timeless—a study in color harmony and joyful restraint.

Framed in a simple natural wood frame that complements the warmth of the palette, this piece is perfect for adding energy to a kitchen, dining nook, creative studio, or any space that thrives on color.
