Textures of Venice 

Melissa Hefferlin's "Textures of Venice" is a still life painting characterized by its vibrant colors and realistic depiction of objects. The painting features a vase of white jasmine flowers in a ruby red vase with gold accents, set against a blue background with an abstract pattern. A single red plum lies on a yellow patterned cloth, adding a contrasting element to the composition. Hefferlin's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, making the objects appear almost tangible. The artist's bold brushstrokes and painterly style contribute to the overall dynamism of the artwork.
