Lost My Marbles

Oil on Canvas | 20 x 24 | Gallery wrapped

In this final painting of the series, the blue-green mason jar has tipped onto its side, sending marbles spilling across the white floor. What began as a perfectly contained moment has transformed into motion and disorder, as the colorful marbles scatter around the fallen jar.

Behind the scene, a softly blurred window reveals muted winter tones of gray, white, and green—suggesting snow-covered pines outside. The quiet landscape contrasts with the playful movement of the marbles, creating a balance between calm atmosphere and lively action.

This 20 x 24 original oil painting is part of a three-piece contemporary still life series exploring the familiar expression “losing my marbles.” Through simple objects and subtle narrative progression, the paintings reflect the universal experience of trying to keep life organized while knowing that sometimes things inevitably spill out of our control.

With its clean composition, soft winter light, and whimsical symbolism, this piece is ideal for collectors who appreciate narrative still life paintings and contemporary realism.
