ArtistFull screen, side-lit, sharp-focus, macro-view large watercolor of a shallow, light-green, rough-patterned, ceramic bowl containing several avocado fruits. The avocados have a green-and-borwn speckled, rough, leathery skin. One avocado outside the bowl is halved to show the large, smooth, brown pit and the delicately olive-green, creamy edible part. The bowl stands on a smooth beechwood cutting board along with a small, simple, green-handled paring knife. The wall behind the culinary arrangement is apricot-colored, and the sunrays cast a pattern of pink, orange, apricot and gold onto the wall. The avocados, the bowl and the cutting board with the knife are deftly, lovingly and painstakingly rendered in diaphanous watercolor with exquisite detail. Above all the avocados are extremely detailed, with the details partly emphasized with pen-and-ink. The wall is out of focus, blurry, splotchy and is speedpainted in wet watercolor and alcohol ink. 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 style of famous contemporary biological illustration artists and Simonetta Occhipinti Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Jakob Demus, Hildegard Könighofer and Margareta Pertl as well as Siobhan Larkin.
A sparse still life features a bowl of fresh avocados, some whole and others sliced open, showcasing their creamy interior and seeds, resting on a wooden cutting board with soft light streaming in.
