Oranges and Cobalt celebrates the energy that occurs when complementary colors come together. Richard Wieth places bright, sun-warmed oranges against the structure of a cobalt bottle and lets light do the rest. You can almost taste the color.
 
 
The brushwork is decisive and fresh, leaving enough open edges for the eye to mix hues and finish shapes. Highlights skip across the peel in broken, tactile touches, while cool notes gather in the glass and shadow. Nothing is fussy; everything is intentional. The composition is tight and musical. Round forms press gently against the vertical lift of the bottle, and a calm plane of tabletop anchors the scene.
 
 
This still life reads as a burst of optimism on a wall, bringing warmth to a kitchen, foyer, or dining space. It’s a reminder that simple things—fruit, glass, light—can hold more joy than we expect when we truly see them.
