Yes, that is a man who sharpens knives on the back of a motorcycle- what you thought it was something else?
This cat is uninterested in fresh fruits or vegetables, but he/she was cute

  1. Those Heirloom tomatoes - looking at the photo, it reminded me of one of those Renaissance Still Lifes - what with the gloss on the fruit and the fine striping on the skin, and the colours, and the bowl, and the attention to detail of it all.
    Eg - http://www.artistsandart.org/2009/12/levi-wells-prentice-1851-1935-american.html
    Makes me wonder if anyone has ever gone through the Still Life paintings of the Old Masters and identified the varietals of fruit and vegetables involved....

  2. Now THERE'S a great idea for a blog! Going painting by painting, researching what would have been local available produce at the time ... fascinating ... you have brilliant thoughts Deborah :)
