Chocolate on Top 2009

"Chocolate on Top" is a 2009 painting by Ralph Goings. It depicts a still life of two stacked donuts, a sugar shaker, and a silver coffee pot. The artwork is a classic example of Goings' style, known for its hyperrealism and emphasis on everyday objects, often found in diners or cafes. Goings' attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of light and shadow, creates a sense of realism and invites the viewer to examine the familiar objects in a new way.
