The oil painting titled "Viburnum is Red" is a luscious still life that showcases the rich, deep hues of viburnum berries, a plant known for its vibrant red fruit. The painting is characterized by a robust impasto technique, with thickly applied paint that adds a sculptural quality to the canvas, making the berries and foliage almost jump out from the surface. The central focus of the composition is a cluster of viburnum, depicted with a variety of reds from bright scarlet to dark burgundy, interspersed with hints of blue and purple. The bold colors of the berries are complemented by the lush greens of the leaves, creating a striking contrast that captures the viewer's attention. The background is a mix of neutral and pastel tones, with strokes of white, beige, and soft blues that provide a calm backdrop to the intensity of the viburnum. This contrast enhances the vibrancy of the berries and brings a sense of light and depth to the painting. Foreground elements include richly painted fruits, possibly apples or peaches, that rest on the surface below the viburnum. These fruits mirror the roundness and organic shapes of the berries and are painted with a similar vigor, using a palette that echoes the warm tones found in the berries. The painting's title, "Viburnum is Red," is a simple yet poetic acknowledgment of the subject's vivid color and the emotional warmth it conveys. The artist's signature is visibly included, confidently placed as a finishing touch to this celebration of natural abundance. This piece invites the viewer to not only admire the beauty of viburnum but also to appreciate the textural possibilities of oil paint and its ability to bring a subject to life. The tactile quality of the painting encourages a desire to reach out and touch the thickly layered berries, to feel the weight and texture as if they were real.
