Clothespin Flame 

"Clothespin Flame" is a painting by Scott Fraser, a contemporary American artist known for his hyperrealistic still lifes. The painting features a lit match held upright by a wooden clothespin, illuminated against a dark background. Fraser masterfully captures the mundane object, elevating it to a state of beauty through the use of intense realism and subtle lighting. The interplay of light and shadow, combined with the artist's meticulous attention to detail, creates a sense of quiet contemplation and invites the viewer to consider the ordinary in a new light.
