  • Prompt: Culinary still life rendered full-screen, sidelit by sunlight streaming in the kitchen window, sharp-focus, macro-view, very close-up and in watercolor. The subject of the frontal-viewed still life is a wooden cutting board with a small, sharp, stainless-steel kitchen knife used to cut large, fully ripe, drippingly juicy, dark orange, red-cheeked apricots in half. Behind the wooden cutting board lies a pile of halved apricots on one side and a pile of whole apricots on the other side.The apricot kernels are piled up on the right side of the cutting board. The board and the apricots lie on a dark stone kitchen counter. Behind the seemingly artless arrangement, we can make out a rough, whitewashed, stone kitchen wall. The background of the culinary still life is rendered in wet-on-wet alcohol ink and is painted all the way to the edges of the paper whereas the apricots, the kernels, the cutting board and the reflective knife are lovingly, deftly and painstakingly rendered in diaphanous watercolor with extreme, ornate, exquisite detail, with some outline details highlighted in pen-and-ink, like a biology illustration. 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.
