Marissa Weatherhead's "Seafood and Wine" is a delightful celebration of coastal cuisine rendered in vibrant acrylic on board. The composition presents a stylised still life featuring fresh fish, shellfish, and a glass of wine against a soft yellow background that evokes the warmth of a sunlit dining table. Weatherhead employs bold, confident brushstrokes and a distinctive colour palette dominated by blues, whites, and accents of orange to create a playful yet sophisticated arrangement. The artist's approach balances representational elements—the unmistakable silvery-blue mackerel with their characteristic markings, plump mussels, and elegant wine glass—with a more abstract, almost decorative sensibility that gives the painting its contemporary edge.

A Feast for the Eyes and the Wall
This intimate piece (20 x 30 cm framed) transforms any space with its joyful expression of simple pleasures. When displayed in a kitchen, dining area or living room, "Seafood and Wine" creates an immediate connection to coastal living and the pleasure of good food and drink. The painting's modest scale belies its visual impact—its bright palette and dynamic composition allow it to command attention despite its size. Weatherhead's work brings a touch of culinary celebration to everyday environments, reminding viewers of the sensory pleasures of a seaside meal shared with good company.
