Still Life 10 (2026) Original Watercolour by Olexandr Romanenko

This expressive watercolor still life contrasts autumn foliage, cool gray-blue verticals, and warm, deep dark brown ceramics.
At the center of the composition is an antique jug with an elegant curved handle. Its dark surface seems to absorb the surrounding light, while bright highlights emphasize the roundness of its shape and create a sense of volume. A light plate with bunches of dark grapes and autumn leaves sits nearby.
The yellow and golden-green leaves positioned to the left and above lend a special mood to the painting. They become the main source of color accents, imbuing the composition with a sense of autumn, sunlight, and natural warmth. The blue and purple hues of the grapes and shadows create a beautiful color contrast with the golden foliage.
The free white areas of the paper, transparent streaks, and visible transitions of the watercolor paint maintain a sense of spontaneity and a vibrant artistic process. The composition appears both naturalistic and poetic.
