Gardner. On display is a grouping of succulent melons gathered on a table top enticing the viewer. A knife rests aside a sliced watermelon. The gilt wooden frame is the perfect pairing to bring out the rich colors of the ripe fruit, which are complimented by a deep maroon backdrop. The subject of the painting would make it a fine addition to a kitchen wall or well-appointed butler’s pantry. less
