Apologies for the studio photo - please see below.

This super-sized fruit ‘portrait’ aims to capture the magnificence everyday fruit. I find the colours and textures on display at my local green grocer provides ample inspiration for paintings. The process of intense study and the time required to paint fruit at such a large scale means that I begin to imagine the relationship between the subjects and how their colours interplay with one another. The colours have been enriched and heightened, depicting the fruit as if they were actors spot-lit on a stage.
