Collection: > Series: "Vegetable Icons" Series I

This series, depicting individual fruits and vegetables, was created in late 2024. These are small (5×7 inch) paintings in oil on paper, made using a subtractive technique. That technique, along with the interaction of the oil paint with the primed paper, create an unusual visual texture and a sense of illumination and mystery.

You can learn more about the evolution and techniques involved in this series in my post "The Making of a Series of 'Vegetable Icons'".
