Sometimes the simplest objects make the most interesting subjects.

In Little White Jug, Janet Gammans places a familiar white jug at the heart of a wonderfully expressive composition. Layers of rich blue, turquoise, soft grey and earthy tones surround the jug, while dotted details, bold marks and reflections give the painting depth and character.

There’s plenty to discover the longer you look, from the subtle touches of colour across the jug itself to the beautifully textured background and reflective surface beneath. Contemporary without feeling stark, it would look particularly at home in a kitchen or dining space, bringing colour and personality to the room.

An original Janet Gammans painting that proves the everyday can be anything but ordinary.
