Still Life

Revisiting my small antique collection is what inspired this painting. I take great pleasure in looking at and touching metal and glass objects, taking in the reflections and the historical, artistic and pragmatic meaning of each object which is ultimately dictated by its daily use.

A beautiful rendering in acrylic of this quintessentially Mediterranean fruit, perfect in all details, lustrous and seductive.  A perfect riposte to the “life is a bowl of cherries” metaphor.  The beauty of this slightly six-sided fruit is so awesome one can barely take his eyes off this ball of deep fire.  So silky to the touch… it hurts to cut it up, but as we do the preciousness of it all comes to life in the transparent ruby/garnet red of each tiny jewel. How can anyone resist its lure?  The flavor is so deep, rich, and complex, so velvety and yet at the same time sharp, that one can only be grateful for the gift of taste buds.  How can one hold back from painting this shout of glory to the senses!!
