Composition with local fruits


Oil Painting! Just about where I left off in 2004.
I was trying painting with oils and this was my second oil. The papaya and stone apple is from our house but the tiny wild cucumbers we call kekuri, i picked from the woods and bought the lime from the store to fill in. There was this empty wine bottle from the beach and I thought of doing a kind of classic composition.
It was wet when I gifted it to my sister back in the islands. Took this picture in my recent visit to Nellaidhoo.
oil on canvas, 36cm x 30 cm
