Contemporary still life painting by Christie Baker featuring pale ceramic vases filled with soft grasses and delicate flowering branches arranged on a tabletop beside a light blue bowl holding oranges and lemons. A trailing leafy plant spills from a blue-grey vessel in the foreground. The composition is painted in muted celadon, warm ivory, pale grey, blush pink, and soft coral tones with layered textures, translucent washes, and loose gestural linework on a linen surface, creating a calm, atmospheric quality.

Description
This atmospheric still life explores the quiet beauty of domestic life through softened colour, layered texture, and delicate botanical forms. Ceramic vessels, gathered foliage, and a bowl of citrus create a calm, intimate composition balancing observation with abstraction. Muted celadon, warm ivory, pale grey, and soft coral tones give the work a luminous, tranquil quality. Rich in texture and quiet emotion, the painting brings warmth, serenity, and understated elegance to a contemporary space.
