Expressive and richly textured, this 1960’s vintage still life oil on canvas by J. Dunning Jr. captures a rustic arrangement of fruits, vegetables, a bottle, and a broad straw hat. Signed and dated ’63 in the lower right corner and again inscribed verso, the work exemplifies the bold, gestural brushstrokes and vibrant palette characteristic of mid-century expressionist still lifes. The composition layers earthy greens, yellows, and ochres with striking highlights of white and orange, creating movement and vitality across the surface. The heavy impasto technique enhances depth, giving the painting a lively three-dimensional quality. Presented in its original wooden frame, the piece retains its vintage authenticity and mid-century charm. The back of the stretcher bears both the artist’s signature and a Glendale, California maker’s mark, further confirming provenance. This dynamic mid-century still life painting offers both artistic energy and decorative appeal, making it a unique statement piece for collectors of 1960’s expressionist works or those seeking a bold focal point for modern interiors.
