Leathery Tangerine
5 x 7 inches, oil on board.
$80
This one's past its prime. The top's flattening out and tough as shoe leather. It's on its way to becoming a baseball. Anyway, it still has good color and a mostly round shape. I can't think of a better image to express all that is...Father's Day.

I don't share your interest in rotting fruit--and my natural inclination is to throw out anything that looks like it's past it's prime. Now that you have posted this painting, however, maybe I will see decaying food in a new light. Of course,I always found bones to be beautiful.

I had to hide this withering tangerine from Kay more than once when I saw on her furrowed brow the impulse to throw away my aging fruit. Why should we look at things only when they're in their prime?
