Original artwork description:

This is an Original oil painting

This oil painting features a classic red tin of Lyle’s Black Treacle, set against a dark, moody background that allows its rich color and ornate design to command attention. The tin stands upright, its surface smooth and gleaming under a soft, controlled light that picks out the gloss of the enamel and the refined details of the label.

The label is elaborate, with black lettering edged in white, lending the typography a formal, almost regal presence. At the center, the iconic golden lion surrounded by bees rests solemnly on a backdrop of intricate scrollwork—an image steeped in tradition.

The tin’s deep crimson red glows against the subdued background, its cylindrical form subtly defined by highlights along the curve and gentle shadows at the base. The light source creates a halo-like gleam on the tin’s lid and rim.

The background is a velvety black, it provides no distractions—only quiet contrast—making the red tin feel both grounded and luminous.

Altogether, the painting is a celebration of craft and legacy, turning a humble kitchen staple into a subject of elegance and contemplation.
