About the Item
For me, an artistic process is an act of investigation – a passionate attempt to establish an understanding of the natural world – a version that incorporates both intellectual and emotional comprehension which are sometimes incompatible, and distills them into a visual language of images where they can be contemplated.
Making images of these things is a natural extension of being fascinated, touched, or intrigued by them. This process of seeing, and recording transforms me. It is how I express wonder and love, a form of dedication. It is also a record of my life and my desire to connect myself to all other things, the acknowledgment of a search for an explanation, for meaning and significance, and a primal longing to grasp things that are unknowable.
I begin with a silver photographic image, evidence. Then I paint this in many transparent layers of oil paint and pencil. If I am lucky the media combine, and become enmeshed, a curious union of what was real with my own painterly exaggerations and embellishments, so I can show how beautiful it all is — the light, the form, the texture, and color, because I am a sensualist and this is my deepest pleasure, my lovely addiction.
Each of these pieces of artwork is silver gelatin photographs that have been selenium toned, archival dry mounted on 4-ply museum rag board then hand-colored with many layers of oil paint and colored pencils. This means that no two are exactly alike, and because of the nature of the process, each one is unique.

Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes - original realism painting - contemporary Art
Located in London, Chelsea
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes, Rebecca Ritchie showcases her exceptional skill in still life realism. The painting centers around a gleaming copper vase, which reflects the light in subtle, warm tones that enhance the rich textures of its surroundings. The vase is adorned with delicate white roses, whose soft petals contrast beautifully with the bold, crimson foliage beside them. The harmonious arrangement of the flowers invites the viewer to appreciate the juxtaposition between the gentle, organic forms and the solid, reflective nature of the vase.
Ritchie’s attention to detail is remarkable, particularly in her depiction of the red grapes scattered at the base of the vase. Each grape is meticulously rendered with a realistic sheen, bringing a lifelike quality to the composition. The dark background further enhances the vibrancy of the objects, creating an intimate atmosphere where light and shadow play delicately over the scene. The artist’s skillful manipulation of light and contrast brings a timeless elegance to the work.
This masterful still life, Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes, is available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online. Art collectors now have the opportunity to bring this beautiful and evocative piece into their collection, a celebration of light, texture, and everyday beauty.
