About this work

This painting shows a cut-open squash sitting on a red cloth. The inside is bright orange with seeds scattered inside. Behind it, there’s a green wall with two black treble clefs drawn on it. The squash looks almost like a musical note itself, with its curved shape and seeds. The colors are bold—red, green, orange—and the brushstrokes are thick in places, giving it texture. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
