An evocative original oil painting by noted Bay Area artist Michael Dee Cookinham, this bold and expressive piece showcases Cookinham’s signature use of vibrant color and textured brushwork. The abstract composition highlights two cherries suspended against a backdrop of moody purples, charcoals, and golden ochres—blending still life with emotional abstraction.
Born in 1942, Cookinham received both his BA and MFA from San Francisco State University and went on to teach art for over 50 years. His influence extended through private instruction and public teaching at Merritt College in Oakland and the DeYoung Museum Art School. His work reflects a deep understanding of form, color, and movement—hallmarks of his decades-long practice and pedagogy.
This piece is professionally matted and set in a sleek black frame with subtle gold accents, ready to hang and elevate any contemporary or eclectic space.
