Oil-on-canvas still life by American artist Chester E. Pennington (b. 1928). Richly detailed and evocative of mid-century realism, this 16″ × 20″ work (21" x 24.5" including frame) features a hand‑painted composition of apples cradled in a wooden shaker box, accompanied by an aged earthenware jug, glass bottles, and a wooden board arranged on a natural‑tone tabletop. Painted with exquisite control of light and texture, Pennington’s treatment of wood grain, ceramic form, and fruit surface captures a serene domestic elegance. A quietly sophisticated work perfect for connoisseurs of traditional still life, regional American realism, or vintage kitchen-themed décor. Signed lower right: CEP 95 I have included another painting of Pennington's that is not included in this offering, but which shows Pennington's signature in long hand.
