Gems
(12" x 24", oil on canvas)

Of the many treats widely available during the holiday season, pomegranates are among my favourites. On the outside they are a beautiful combination of warm and cold reds, but the real visual treat is on the inside. The gem-like seeds tucked into the warm white flesh present a complex challenge to this artist. Thankfully, these marvels don't react too quickly to my hot lights, giving me plenty of time to work on getting it right.
