Summer Fruits

2 December - 19 December 2011

Artist Statement

Having a large garden, with many fruit and vegetable plants, promotes my interest in painting still life, subject matter that allows me to change the results of nature.

I have control over the light source and background, over the selection of either freshly harvested onions, or those that have been hanging for several months.

What I intend to prepare for a meal invariably becomes the subject matter for a study to paint, thus the inclusion of seafood in my works.
