Still life with Pumpkin and Sage

When planning this artwork, the intention was to use bold elements and fresh colours and to avoid complexity and clatter. The tall jug and the pumpkin were the heroes of the composition, however, half way through the painting, the orange colour of the pumpkin became a bit intense and I added the little pot of sage to accompany and balance it.
