Still Life with Peaches, Signed Dawn Raun, 2012
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A mound of ripe peaches rises from a blue and white ceramic compote, with grapes and foliage spilling outward across the table. The cool glaze of the vessel sets off the oranges and reds of the fruit, and a deep, subdued background lets the peaches glow with warmth. The brushwork is soft and blended, the arrangement a classic triangle that draws the eye from the table up to the crown of fruit. It is presented in a decorative gilt and silver beaded frame that echoes the warm palette.
History & Provenance
Signed and dated “Dawn Raun 2012” in red at the lower left. The painter has not been identified in the published record. The work is a contemporary studio still life in the long tradition of tabletop painting.

Small still lifes like this one bring color and warmth without demanding a large wall. It is at home in a kitchen or dining room, on a gallery wall, or propped on a shelf as part of an intimate vignette.
Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat and humidity. Dust the frame with a soft, dry brush, and leave any cleaning of the painted surface to a conservator.
