Ham And Cheese, 2025

Ham and Cheese

This small oil painting presents a close, vibrant view of a slice of ham layered over cheese, surrounded by richly colored produce and foliage. Thick, expressive brushstrokes give the surface a tactile presence, turning a humble subject into something lush and painterly. The composition feels intimate and immediate, as if the viewer has been drawn close to the table.

Painted with a lively, saturated palette, the work emphasizes texture and color over precise detail. The pinks and reds of the ham contrast with the warm yellows of the cheese, while cooler greens and blues create a dynamic backdrop. The visible marks of the brush celebrate the physicality of oil paint and the pleasure of looking closely.

This painting belongs to an ongoing exploration of still life as a space for experimentation—where everyday objects are elevated through color, gesture, and attention. A small yet striking work, ideal for collectors drawn to intimate scale and painterly surfaces.
