Peaches

One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
~Pablo Picasso

Did you know that nectarines are actually a type of peach? I didn't realize that until recently. This week, a friend brought me a basket of peaches and they were like candy. Soo good. For Art Thursday, peaches:

    Peaches...good subject since it's that time of the year.

    The Still life with peaches and silver platter is amazingly realistic. You can even see the fuzz. :-)

    Still life with peaches, grapes and nuts on a table is also excellent. (And don't forget the fly!)
