ArtistFull screen, sharp-focus, macro-view, close-up watercolor of a bunch of healthy, dark-purple, large-leaved basil in a mason jar with some water. The jar is standing on a kitchen counter along with a hunk of pecorino cheese, a head of pink garlic, and a small jar of pine nuts as well as a flask of golden-green virgin olive oil. The culinary still life is lit from above and stands in front of a dark-pink, floral-patterned kitchen wall with a linen finish and very tiny floral elements. The background is rendered in blurry, wet-on-wet watercolor and is hastily painted whereas the mason jar, the basil, the cheese and the olive oil flask are deftly and painstakingly rendered in diaphanous watercolor with exquisite detail, with some details highlighted in pen-and-ink. Prize-winning biology illustration in a style reminiscent of Simonetta Occhipinti, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Jakob Demus, Hildegard Könighofer and Margareta Pertl as well as Siobhan Larkin. Museum-quality aquarelle sketch on heavy handmade rag paper.
A still life featuring a bouquet of vibrant purple basil in a jar, surrounded by olive oil, garlic, cheese, and wooden utensils, set against a softly lit, vintage background.
