I really dig this Pumo Jar painting by US artist, Michael Pfleghaar. It’s gouache on paper. I love the unique shape of the jar…and I LOVE warmth of the orange and yellow.

He says,

A still life I painted last week featuring a plastic Kartell transparent lidded centerpiece jar.

Playing with light, transparency, and patterns in this new series of small gouache on paper paintings.

I had never heard of a pumo jar, but now I will be on the lookout for them. According to the Kartell website, the Pumo is a multi-purpose container that adds a touch of elegance to any surface. The faceted lid and graceful shape is inspired by a traditional Apulian object of good omen.

Michael is in the Saatchi gallery. He lives and works in Grand Rapids, Michigan. If you dig this as much as I do, here is my link to purchase.
