This looks like it was fun to paint. Nice atmosphere. I’m a big fan of your work!

This is just beautiful … who would think a fig and a knife could take my breath away?

I love the detail of the beads of light on the fig and on the knife blade, where it joins the handle—perfectly placed. You’ve really captured the translucency of the fig’s flesh. It’s very sensual. And a nice contrast between the sharpness of the blade and juiciness of the fruit. Daring, I dare say!

Hi Julian Susan has described it better than I could.
