Fruit Portraits
Fruit has long been a popular subject for painters, for good reason. They are beautiful, varied, and filled with meaning. These fruit portraits were inspired in particular by the elegant and exact botanical illustrations by 19th Century artists. I want to show the symbolic elements of fruit as well as the physical shapes to reveal the magic of the natural world. These portraits are 12″ x 17″ encaustic mixed media on board, framed with copper strips.
