ArtistFull screen, sharp-focus, macro-view watercolor of a very ripe, juicy, reticulated cantaloupe, split in half to show the deeply peach-orange colored flesh and the juicy, yellowish seeds arranged perfectly parallel around a central axis. The cantaloupe lies on a glass cutting board on a formica kitchen counter and is waiting to be cleaned and cut into sections. Next to the cantaloupe lies a steel reflective kitchen knife, and behind the cantaloupe, we see a platter with slices of air-dried prosciutto ham. The culinary still life is deftly and painstakingly rendered in quick, wet-on-wet watercolor. The light cream-colored background is blurry and very splotchy, carelessly executed in speedpainting technique. 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.
