Summer Fruit Harmony
(18" x 36", oil on canvas)

Nothing says hot summer days quite like a slice of watermelon, so before the season completely runs out, I had to try my hand at this luscious subject. Its iconic triangular shape is softened by the addition of other fruit, making this composition not only about colour, but also about strong hard-edged shapes. Using the white jug as an anchor, the graphic shapes of the fruit fit together and create what I feel is lovely seasonal harmony.
