Horse Chestnut Fruit and Seed III

'Horse Chestnut Fruit and Seed III' - 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 falling further open to reveal the seed....the roundness of the cavity left behind by the seed....the roundness of the seed itself.... the over ripeness of the skin....the contrast between the textures of skin flesh and seed....the deep brown of the seed echoed in deep brown markings on the skin and flesh....
