It often strikes me, when I see fresh fruit placed on an antique, blue enamelware
dish, that the eye-catching color-combination is a post-impressionist still-life, practically
begging to be painted. That was what happened with this selection of fruit on an old,
deep-sapphire plate. It was a reminder of when Van Gogh moved south to Provence,
and fell in love with yellow and blue. The lemon yellow cloth and the little, turquoise
jug further enrich the color vibrancy.
In my previous posting called Bittersweet In The Honey Jug, I wrote about the long
continuity of that jug as a subject in still-life paintings, and said that I would post a more
recent painting which included the jug. That is why I'm posting this painting; there is
probably a span of fifty years or more between the two paintings.
