Glass of Red Wine, Still Life Interior, Oil Painting Study, Canvas Panel, 2026

Glass of Red Wine, Still Life Interior, Oil Painting Study, Canvas Panel, 2026

Located in Preston, GB

Glass of Red Wine, Still Life Interior, Oil Painting Study, Canvas Panel, by Contemporary British Artist, Sarah Victoria Scott (2026) Art measures 5 x 7 inches Glass of Red Wine is an elegant contemporary still life by British artist Sarah Victoria Scott, painted in 2026. With expressive, confident brushwork and a refined understanding of colour, Scott captures the simple pleasure of a glass of red wine, elevating an everyday subject into a sophisticated painterly study. The rich crimson tones of the wine glow beautifully within the delicately rendered glass, contrasting harmoniously against the cool blue backdrop and deep charcoal shadows. Reflections and highlights are suggested with remarkable economy, allowing the transparent form of the glass to emerge through loose yet purposeful strokes of oil paint. The warm ochre tabletop anchors the composition, creating a striking balance between light, atmosphere and colour. Both contemporary and timeless, this intimate oil study celebrates the beauty found in life’s quieter moments. It would make a wonderful addition to a modern interior or a collection of contemporary British still life paintings...
