Kitchen paintings
I love painting the shapes of fruits and vegetables. The practice began as a standard fallback on that rainy or frigid day when I could not paint in watercolor outside. At first it was just practice, keeping in shape but no more. Now I am attracted to the shapes and colors with their unending combinations as if bites were on my tongue. My paintings strive to make their images as good as their taste!
