About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Steve Boggs used his homegrown Better Bay tomato as the subject for this still-life oil painting. Centered in warm sunlight, the fruit's vibrant red-orange hue contrasts with the simple wood table and white background. The piece captures the essence of summer and Steve's passion for nature's bounty.
About the Artist
Artist Steve Boggs captures the interplay of light and form in his layered, atmospheric, and still-life paintings. His artistic journey started with an accident. "I stumbled upon a book by an oil painter, and something clicked in my head - for the first time, I looked at a real professional painting and could see how it was done," says Steve. In his works, he seeks to balance realism with creative interpretation. Steve paints in a spacious and organized studio above his garage in Hendersonville, Tennessee. When not creating art, he enjoys perfecting Neapolitan and Roman pizzas, cooking Mediterranean and Southern barbecue, and continually honing his guitar skills.
