Still Life Oil on Canvas Painting – “Pitcher With Orange Band" Signed M. Hogdson

A beautifully composed vintage still life oil on canvas titled “Pitcher with Orange Band,” painted in 1988 by M. Hodgson in Rutland, Vermont. This intimate composition features a softly lit ceramic pitcher accented with a warm orange band, accompanied by a basket of eggs, a single loose egg, and a peeled orange resting on a patterned textile—rich with texture, depth, and quiet domestic charm.

The artist’s use of muted jewel tones and gentle shadowing evokes a timeless, Old World sensibility reminiscent of classical still-life traditions, while retaining a distinctly American folk-art warmth. The brushwork is confident yet restrained, lending the piece a serene, contemplative quality.

The painting is presented in a substantial rustic wooden frame that complements the subject matter beautifully and gives the piece strong wall presence. Signed on the front and fully titled, dated, and located on the reverse.

Perfect for a kitchen, dining room, pantry, or layered into a gallery wall, this piece adds soul, warmth, and authenticity to both traditional and modern interiors.
