Spring Fruit and Flowers

 

This still life blends technically accurate realism with a twist.  I place still life objects on a mirror, then put the mirror outdoors. Playful and puzzling, it is realism, influenced by modernism.

​

This is a homage to 16th century Dutch still life painting. Growing up and touring museums, I was hypnotized by the elaborate bouquets. Tulips scattered with luxurious trimmings.
