A cup of coffee with a pastry in a plate still life oil painting Painting

In this expressive still life oil painting, the artist captures a serene moment of daily life—a warm cup of coffee paired with a tempting slice of pastry. The coffee, nestled in a vibrant yellow mug, stands out with its rich, dark brew. The brushstrokes bring the mug to life with a textured, almost tactile quality that emphasizes its warmth. The plate, adorned with a partly eaten pastry, suggests a moment of indulgence. The pastry itself, with its light, crumbly texture and dark, chocolatey top, is rendered in a way that makes it appear almost edible. A spoon rests casually on the plate, hinting at the pleasure of a recent bite. The background is a wash of cool, subdued tones that contrast with the warm hues of the coffee and pastry, creating a balance that draws the viewer's eye to the central elements. The painting employs a loose, impressionistic style that conveys a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, inviting the viewer to savor this simple, yet delightful scene. *Size: 12"X10" *Original handmade impasto oil painting on canvas by palette knife and brush. *Made by me - Indrani Ghosh.
