Lime in the Coconut
As the Harry Nilsson song goes, you put the lime IN the coconut! I loved that song as a child. It never made sense to me (still doesn't) but its a catchy tune. This lime and coconut still life was fun to set up and paint, especially cracking the coconut!
The sliver of green on the lower left slice has a luminescent quality I strived to reproduce.
This modern still life would look great hanging in a kitchen or bar area. The texture of the coconut has a nice rustic quality.
