I like to think of my fruit and veg paintings as portraits rather than still lifes. There’s something very intimate about the process of painting a portrait — a conversation between the artist and the subject — that embeds itself in the final painting. The fruit or vegetable has been positioned just so, showing me their best side in a flattering light. At the peak of ripeness, with all their personal curves and bumps and spots on display, each is an individual while representing their kind. They’re singular.
