ArtistFull screen, sharp-focus, macro-view watercolor of a floral-patterned, old-fashioned porcelain bowl filled with lychees with red, leathery husks. Two lychee nuts are split open to show the sweet, glossy white interior and the shiny, dark-brown seed. The bowl of lychees sits on a rose-pink damask tablecloth with a very fine, traditional, repetitive woven floral design. Behind the porcelain bowl, we see the suggestion of a teak sideboard with glass doors. The sideboard is rendered in blurry, wet-on-wet watercolor and is hastily painted whereas the bowl, tablecloth and lychees are deftly and painstakingly rendered in diaphanous watercolor with exquisite detail. The dark background is out of focus and splotchy. Prize-winning biology illustration in a style reminiscent 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.
