Everything old is new again.
I realized this looking at more pop surrealism, some of which like Scott Musgrove, had backgrounds based on, of all things, rococo pastoral art. And I found that bizarrely amusing, and oddly fitting as a background to weird critters, so I went wandering through rococo art history on-line, something I'd never done much of before--it's not a style I run into terribly often, and my brain had largely dismissed it as the stuff of ten million fox-hunting chase scenes. So I decided to do a really, really quick painting in the style, and it was surprisingly fun--but only digitally. If I had to tackle that in oils, I think it'd wear thin pretty quick.
Because somebody always asks, no, it's NOT because of anything to do with Kalamata or the olives, I just liked the way the name sounded.

paintings at an exhibition" Modest Musorgskij
representing of how the pear gets all the spotlight
and the eggplant
stands there
...
you can even see the pear in the background lol
Same here, that the Eggplant of Kalamata would complement Pear of Salamanca badge pretty well. Just think about them right next to each other on your page, marvelous.
first the pear
next, this
... I'm prepared...

I love eggplant and your work!

Once again, a fabulously creative work from you! Hope to see more soon!
They must be buddies.
All of your paintings are incredibly delightful. Surrealism has many different corners, and your art has created an entirely new one.
I love the shading and how real something so impossible could look
For random reasons I don't feel like explaining, I can't order prints...
