This is the latest of my larger still-lifes. I made it for my grandmother and everything is centered around a bottle of Noilly Prat, the local drink of Marseillan, a little village in the south of France. This is where my grandmother used to spend the summer. I am particularly happy with the bright color underneath, on which the painting is constructed in layers of calmer colors, leaving some parts open to provide a brightly coloured accent. And even with this almost fluorescent pink, the whole thing still has a classical and balanced look. I have made a short time-lapse animation of me painting this:
