    No the artist just lay down with fruit, took a photo and painted results. There’s another version with her sister.

      No, not literally. The color balance of the skin tones does not imply life. Also, there is absolutely no fucking way they “just la[id] down with fruit, took a photo and painted results”. Ain’t no citrus on that scale my friend.

          Why are you so personally offended by and hostile towards some Internet stranger’s genuine reaction to a painting they actually liked enough to inquire about?

            I mean that in jest - the fruit. The artist pictured is already quite pale, perhaps she painted herself paler to look dead or spoiled like the fruit.

            Oh yeah, I think it’s a mixture of different melons. She does paint cross section of different fruits and makes them large and small. Maybe it’s intentional.
