ArtistFull screen, sharp-focus, macro-view watercolor of a bunch of freshly picked, tender, young, luscious, deep-orange carrots with the carrot leaves still attached and crumbs of moist soil on the carrots. The bunch of carrots is lying on a rough-hewn oak potting workbench, waiting to be cleaned prepared. Next to the carrots lie several sprigs of freshly picked variegated lemon thyme and a dirty glass jar with a vegetable brush and garden clippers. Behind the carrots, we see an out-of-focus shed wall with potting tools. The background is unfocused, dark-tan colored, spotty and blotchy and rendered in very wet watercolor. The carrots and thyme in the foreground are executed lovingly and in great detail. The culinary still life shows fresh ingredients ready to be prepared and cooked. The tableau is deftly and painstakingly rendered in quick, wet-on-wet watercolor. Prize-winning biology illustration in the style of Simonetta Occhipinti Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Jakob Demus, Hildegard Könighofer and Margareta Pertl as well as Siobhan Larkin. Museum-quality aquarelle sketch on heavy handmade rag paper.
A rustic tableau of fresh carrots with greens, kitchen knives, and herbs on a wooden board, evoking a sense of homegrown culinary preparation. The engine refuses to render a vegetable brush or variegated lemon thyme and has added a lot of superfluous items, but all in all, the image is harmonious.
