Spooned Marmalade

A moment of sticky, citrusy joy captured in oils—Spooned Marmalade is inspired by a box of freshly picked farm produce and the slow, sensory ritual of making marmalade from scratch. Painted from an overhead perspective, this still life features a well-loved spoon coated in glowing golden orange, resting beside a pot of golden marmalade.

The artwork is painted on canvas wrapped in recycled newspaper—adding texture, sustainability and a hint of storytelling beneath the surface. It’s a piece that invites the viewer into a warm, lived-in kitchen moment. You can almost smell the zest and hear the gentle bubbling.

Perfect for lovers of slow food, golden hour light, and art with a splash of everyday magic.
