Crimson Red Apple Painting (2026)Painting by Irsa Ervin

This 9 × 12 inch artwork is created using coloured pencils combined with a powder blender technique, allowing for soft transitions, rich depth, and a timeless, painterly finish. Though drawn with pencils, the surface and tonal blending echo the warmth and quiet elegance of traditional painting.

At the center of the composition sits a single apple, resting calmly on a table, unaccompanied and unhurried. There’s a quiet confidence in its presence—no dramatic setting, no excess detail—just a small, everyday subject given the space to be noticed. It feels like a moment paused in time, as if the apple has been left there briefly and the room has gone still around it.

This piece was created to evoke a classic, traditional style of painting, celebrating simplicity, observation, and the beauty found in ordinary objects. The restrained composition and soft blending invite the viewer to slow down and appreciate subtle texture, light, and form.
