Wayne Westwood Original Still Life Oil Painting with Mouse and Wine - This original still-life oil painting by Wayne Westwood is executed on a smooth panel. The composition features a small field mouse peering from behind a crusty loaf of bread, accompanied by a glass and a decanter filled with an amber-colored liquid. The scene also includes a wedge of cheese and a tall wooden server element, all set against a dark reddish-brown background. The artist utilizes dramatic lighting and a high degree of realism, specifically in the fine detail of the animal fur and the refractive qualities of the glassware. The work is signed Wayne Westwood in a white-toned paint along the lower right edge. The painting is housed in a multi-stepped wooden frame with a distressed silver and gold-leaf finish over a red bole base.
