Sunwarmed Plums

Remember that delightful late summer moment when plum trees decide they've had quite enough, thank you, and practically throw their fruit at you? That satisfaction of gathering dusky purple plums still warm from the sun, with their bloom that vanishes at first touch. The promise of crumbles and jams or, if you're being honest with yourself, just eating them straight from the bowl.

This little painting, with its loose, confident brushstrokes and rich purple against leafy green, captures that fleeting abundance we wait for all year. Its presence in your kitchen brings a touch of that late summer magic – even in the depths of February when proper fruit feels like a distant memory.

You might find it becomes a cheery companion to morning toast or evening cooking – a small burst of colour that reminds you good things come round again, even when it seems they never will.
