ArtistFull screen, sharp-focus, macro-view watercolor of a very ripe, dark red, juicy, watermelon slice with dark, ripe seeds arranged in parietal placentation. The glistening, wet slice is standing upright on a fruit-patterned plate. Behind the plate, the remaining watermelon sits on a dark kitchen counter. Next to the watermelon slice, on the platter, lies a wooden-handled vegetable knife. The culinary still life is deftly and painstakingly rendered in quick, wet-on-wet watercolor. The dark kitchen background is blurry and 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.
A vibrant still life with watermelons, one sliced, with a knife and a wooden mortar, showcasing succulent red fruit and seeds, illuminated by soft light. Note: What the wooden mortar is for in this image escapes me.
