summer fruits

Summerfruits Mixed media on paper. 29x41cm. 
Something very classical today ... I never paint still life , because they never really interest me. Except for some times bottles and pots ! I can't even  remember when I painted the last time fruits ( maybe even NEVER ...) But my theory normally is : It doesn't matter WHAT you paint... It is about the act of painting itself and about the colours. .. So why not a bowl of fruits ? Because there are already THOUSANDS  existing ? But everything else has also been painting for thousands of times....
 I remember when I studied , once of the saying I heard a lot was : " You can't paint anymore... painting is passe " But now painting is back to being 'fashionable' .... So why not painting some fruits ? But just for today :)

    ich finde, du solltest ruhig öfter stilleben malen. ich mag deine früchte sehr!
    freut mich übrigens, dass dir der herr mit den gummihandschuhen gefallen hat!
    lg - hier zeigt das thermometer minus 9 grad, da ist kein gedanke an sommerliches obst...!

    thanks Mel :) I just had a look at your beautiful new yummy book :)
    Und danke Ralf und Mano... Ich weiss nicht ob ich den Mut fuer ein Stillleben wieder finden werde :)) Aber auf jeden Fall hat es Spass gemacht, ich hatte ja gedacht, dass ich das gar nicht kann :))

    ps
    I just noticed above that your comment on someone elses book...Do you have a book?
    you know those blurb books or what not?

    i wish i could describe what it is --or why it is your work has such an impact on me...
    Maybe because it reminds me of an artist---from a long time ago--whose work I just fell in love with. Its sort of similar--collage--mixed media--but so well balanced.
    pleasing to the eye.
    Thank you again...
    for the joy!!!
    for the loveliness in an era where there is far too much 'ugliness' abounding.
    :hug:
