Losing My Marbles

Oil on Canvas | 20 x 24 | Gallery wrapped

“Losing My Marbles” captures the moment when order begins to slip. The same blue-green mason jar appears upright, but the lid has been removed and now leans against the jar. A few marbles have escaped and rest on the white floor nearby.

The simple background—a softly blurred window scene of white, gray, and hints of evergreen—suggests a quiet winter landscape beyond the room. Natural light washes across the scene, highlighting the reflective surfaces of the glass jar and colorful marbles.

Part of a three-painting still life series, this artwork playfully references the familiar phrase “losing my marbles.” The subtle shift from the first painting in the series introduces movement and a hint of chaos while maintaining the calm, minimalist composition.

This 20 x 24 original oil painting combines classic still life traditions with contemporary storytelling, making it an engaging piece for collectors who appreciate symbolism, humor, and everyday objects elevated through fine art.
