Painting: Market with Fruits That Don't Exist

"This painting marks one of the final pieces in my market series. As I approached it, reluctance crept in, yet an irrepressible urge drove me to completion. The fruits depicted barely resemble their form—they seem almost ethereal, existing only in abstraction. "The fruits hardly look like fruits—they might as well not exist," I murmured to the brush. "No wonder. You hardly look like an artist," the brush retorted. I set the brush aside, finishing with my fingers and signing with my soul."
