Still Life Painting

I got this recently at an estate sale filled with mid century art and decor and lots of African American art. The visible part of the painting is 14.5 x 18.5 inches. Signed G Will, but there may be a letter or 2 covered by the frame. I did some searching on Will Wills Willis and didn't come up with anything.

Just would like any thoughts on the quality of the painting, or any opinions about it. I like its vibrancy.

Thanks.

 

Student assignment?

 

Thanks, appreciate the comment.

 

Has a certain modern sensibility about it. However, the items seem a bit disconnected and one dimensional. I also think amateur work.

 

I like it. Doesn't appear to my eye to be a student work. Deceptively simple but not that easy to accomplish.
