William Hughes British, 19th Century Study of Apples, circa 1870 Oil on panel Monogrammed lower right A finely observed and intimate still life by William Hughes, painted circa 1870, depicting a small grouping of apples arranged upon a simple wooden surface. Executed with quiet restraint and technical assurance, the composition reflects the enduring appeal of Victorian still life painting, where humble subjects are elevated through careful observation and painterly sensitivity. The apples, shown attached to a slender branch with leaves, are rendered with particular attention to texture and natural variation. Subtle transitions of colour—soft greens, warm russets, and touches of golden ochre—capture the ripeness and individuality of each fruit. The surfaces are delicately modelled, with highlights and imperfections thoughtfully described, lending the work both realism and charm. Set against a rich, dark background, the fruit is brought into sharp relief, a compositional device that enhances both depth and focus. The contrast between the illuminated forms and the shadowed ground creates a sense of quiet drama, while the horizontal line of the wooden ledge anchors the composition with stability and balance. Hughes’ handling is confident yet controlled, combining fine brushwork with a painterly softness that avoids excessive detail. The leaves and stems are treated with a lighter touch, providing a natural counterpoint to the more solid forms of the apples. This balance between precision and atmosphere is characteristic of well-executed 19th-century British still life painting...

Carrie Goller's (US based) "Romantical" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a hummingbird hovering above white orchids. This piece is unframed yet ready to hang. Born and raised on Washington’s tiny Bainbridge Island, artist Carrie Goller recalls being advised as a child to pursue a career in fine art. After an early career as a paralegal, a life-changing experience led her to become a serious and dedicated artist. Once I finally indulged my need to create art, the door was opened and I haven’t looked back. I’ve been making up for lost time; a bit obsessed. Art is now a necessity for me. I find true expression and balance in that world, says Goller. Goller is inspired by simple, sensuous organic forms and the realm of colors, shapes and textures found in nature. Her thoughtful approach to subject matter can be evidenced from her tender still life work, along with a passion for rendering impressionist oils of daily life. From her Bainbridge Island and Hood Canal...
