This series combines my love of painting with my passion for food. Fruits have a playful quality - their vivid colors, rich textures and splendidly perfect shapes seem to put them in a ready pose for painting. Food preparation is an artistic and spiritual process, resulting in something designed to delight all the senses. To be fully enjoyed, it must completely disappear! Rendering it on canvas extends our pleasure further so we can savor it long after the satisfying demise of the scrumptious morsels. Each beautiful piece of fruit has its own personality. One appears to relax lazily in the sun, another waits in anticipation, while yet another seems to be attempting to flee its ultimate fate.
