The still life with plums is written in impressionism and in the technique of "alla-prima", which means "immediately, in one step".

The painting on this canvas has its characteristics. I first applied a thick layer of paint to the canvas in different shades. Then I wiped off the contours of the drawing with a cloth wound around my finger, and after that, I applied coloured layers with a brush or finger.

The unpainted edges of the picture are also not an accident; they enhance the effect of vintage, give some lightness to the whole image.

I like to call this canvas "a still-life in a landscape," since my other painting, "The Lavender Field at Sunset," served as the background for it. Provence, lavender is my favourite themes, and in this case, the landscape has become a magnificent colour base for a still life with plums.
