Amber Jar (Blown) c. 1937

Ralph Atkinson's "Amber Jar (Blown)" is a watercolor painting created circa 1937. This still life painting showcases a simple, elegant, amber-colored glass jar rendered with meticulous detail. The artist captures the light reflecting off the textured surface of the jar, highlighting its rounded form and the subtle variations in its color. The light and airy nature of the watercolor medium is particularly well-suited to depicting the transparency and luminosity of glass. "Amber Jar (Blown)" embodies Atkinson's fascination with the beauty of everyday objects and the interplay of light and form.
