Well, if buying a pomegranate for it’s good looks doesn’t signify a real change in my art, then these plums certainly do. Because as beautiful as I think they are, I don’t even like plums, but were they ever fun to paint!

Have you ever had one of those moments when you realise something has changed and it’s never going to be the same again?
I’ve always thought of myself, artistically speaking, as either a “wildlife artist” or a “scratchboard artist”. However, I’m going to have to reconsider both of those titles. Not because I’ll never make wildlife art again nor because I’ll never do scratchboard again, but because yesterday when I walked through the produce section of the grocery store I picked out this pomegranate because I thought to myself, “Wow! I bet that would make a great still life subject!”
