  • Prompt: Full-screen, frontlit, sharp-focus, macro-view, close-up watercolor of several delicata squash, lying on a rough, grass-green linen tablecloth. The longish squash are pale yellow with greenish and brownish stripes. One squash is cut in half lengthwise to reveal the light-orange fruit pulp and the light-beige pumpkin seeds. Behind the squash, we see a wooden cutting board with flat-leaf parsley and a small, ordinary kitchen knife, and behind the cutting board, we can make out a rectangular pyrex baking dish with generous pats of butter. The culinary still life is sunlit from the front and stands in front of dark green wood paneling. The background is rendered in splotchy, wet-on-wet watercolor and is painted all the way to the edges of the paper whereas the squash, the parsley and the cutting board are lovingly, deftly and painstakingly rendered in diaphanous watercolor with exquisite detail, with some outline details highlighted in pen-and-ink. Above all the delicata squash are painted with great attention to detail, 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.
