oil on canvas, 36"x48", 2019
The goal was simply to paint again. References came from old magazines and photos, things seen in my apartment and on my runs, and stills from TV I was watching at the time. Midway through, a coworker gave me some figs from her tree. They were the first fresh figs I’d seen. Shortly after the coworker left. I can’t remember if I had the chance to show her this painting. I see it as a tether to her and that moment in time.
