"The juicy peaches and bright ripe strawberries worked
well on a rich blue setting. The bright colors look even
brighter contrasted with the cools of the cloth and metallic box.
There are many varieties of peaches and these had light
colored pits. Some peach pits I have seen have been quite dark.
Peaches are noted for their fuzziness and strawberries for their
shiny surface. It was enjoyable capturing the various surfaces,
colors and shadows in this more simple still life. Although smaller
than many of my other paintings, it had the same challenges
as much larger paintings".
