Still lifes
In May/June the garlic is harvested and sold in the French Provence. Huge quantities per kilo, loose, in bundles or strands. I buy them per kilo, paint them and eat them afterwards. Delicious! Because they intriged me, I started painting garlic. Afterwards I did tomatoes, they are fun to paint and have a delicious taste. After the painting was finished the the tomatoes were a little bit wrinkled and they were only fit for the tomato soup. And so I went on, other fruits and vegetables became subject to paint. There are many more interesting subjects for still life painting, let’s see what comes up in the future.
Garlic, framed in a handmade frame with silver on top. All still lifes are framed this way.
The still lifes are painted in the dead painting technique, also called Verdaccio. They are framed in very exclusive handmade “over the corner” black frames with silver on top.
The art works are for sale. Prices on demand.
