As I was cruising the fruit aisle looking for apples, I was taken by the shocking blue of a flat of black plums. Only after I started throwing down paint did I realize there is almost every color except black to be found in the curves and reflections. The darkness of the surface within the haze demands some focused attention to some fleeting suggestions of color. This painting is developing with a different dynamic, as I’m spiralling around each subject to push and pull the curves into depth and space.
