Fig Half and Knife

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.
