Horse Chestnut Fruit and Seed II

'Horse Chestnut Fruit and Seed II' - A4 fine art print.

....so many things about this fruit and seed make me want to try to paint them....the tremendous sense of three-dimensions....a suggestion of movement in the fruit beginning to fall open to reveal the seed....the three distinct segments of the opening fruit....the seed coming away from the flesh it sits in....the distinctive spikes of the fruit....the over ripe skin of the fruit....the contrast in the colour and texture of the outside of the fruit and the flesh of the inside and the seed inside the flesh....the deep brown of the seed echoed by deep brown markings on the skin and flesh....
