Auction Ending Tomorrow!
This is an original, hand painted oil painting by internationally award winning artist Catherine Twomey. The positive and negative tension between the strawberry and eggplant are reemphasized in the lock. I could not resist painting such a gorgeous composition. The eggplant was a special challenge and I was finally pleased with how it turned out.
Please NOTE: FRAME INCLUDED! This painting is professionally framed, at cost, in a lovely satin black finish floater frame with a buffer-through reddish undertone finish at the outer edges and a speckled gold fillet detail on the inside. Visit kingofframes.com for further details of their framing services.
