This morning's breakfast



"Morning Grapefruit" 8"x10" Oil on Canvas Board $95


As a child I hated grapefruit. My daughter wanted to try them, having a taste for the sour. I cut one in half and we tried it together for the first time. I didn't realize what I was missing. Now we eat one just about every day. Observing the fruit as I ate, I was compelled to paint it. Composing this one was a dilema at first with the spoon up. I found that vertical worked best and to crop the plate off the right side was more interesting.
