ArtistFull screen, toplit, sharp-focus, macro-view closeup of a dark green, square, shallow green serving dish with reflective flecks of gold incorporated in the glass. The dish is piled high with plump, black olives, shiny green olives, whole, blanched almonds and thin strips of red bell pepper, tossed with olive oil and dried herbs. The dish stands on a rustic tan-colored leather tray along with a small, round glass containing individually wrapped toothpicks. The arrangement stands in front of a simple red faux brick wall. The rustic tapas display has a timeless atmospheric ambience and is deftly, carefully and painstakingly rendered in diaphanous watercolor with exquisite detail, so that the glass serving dish with the olives, almonds and bell pepper strips stands out in full detail, almost like in an etching. The wall behind the arrangement is rendered in an airy, impressionistic manner, painted in sloppy, wet alcohol ink speedpaint. The aquarelle is painted all the way to the edges of the heavy, handmade rag paper. Prize-winning, museum quality biology aquarelle illustration in the manner of accomplished contemporary and historical artists like Simonetta Occhipinti, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Jakob Demus, Hildegard Könighofer and Margareta Pertl as well as Siobhan Larkin.
A vibrant bowl of mixed olives and almonds sits on a textured wooden surface. Surrounding it are scattered olives and a glass of skewers, set against a rustic brick backdrop.
