# 2272 Painted from life without any modern tricks and help. WE so often overlook simple subjects of our everyday life. The chestnuts, a fruit/nut that only grows in the cooler places of this planet, were an integral part of the winter feasts in days gone by. I still buy them when they come in the fruit shop and roast them over a cosy fire when the temperature has dropped. Although I have never had the pleasure to see a painting by Jean Baptiste Gardin with chestnuts, I am sure he would have loved painting them.

All art by Jos Kivits

A painting of this calibre is and always will be an eye catcher when people realise it has not been created with shortcuts and tricks, but genuinely by discipline and artistry without smoke and mirrors. It is a work I cannot get away from as it is in my soul to paint what every eye can see without the help of any kind of trickery or Painted in 2005 and several times perfected and varnished over the years. This very work has never been exhibited, although one similar depicting different objects was revealed in Jos’ 2018 exhibition.

The style and technique is considered ‘Classical European’ and first exposed to Australia by some well-known earlier artists like Hans Heysen, Arthur Streeton, & Besie Davidson.Apples and pears, glass of red wine,  opened wall nuts, and a 18th century fruit knife, all on a stone ledge
