The customary way to picture forbidden fruit--as an apple--is just an old art tradition. The Bible doesn't actually say which fruit it was. I decided to try something different, like a lemon and a pear (see "Lady With Pear"). It feels like each fruit gives a slightly different flavor to the original sin.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/7/PPDF54108640604847.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lady With Pear.]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=MPPW54108640606650</link><description><![CDATA[See "Lady With Lemom"<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/5/DNUG541086406012625.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young woman feeding her piranhas.]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=RZPK5410864060053</link><description><![CDATA[As you probably know, everything symbolizes something in medieval Chinese art.
 A fishbowl, for instance, symbolizes an unsatisfied desire.
 I didn't know that, when I was working on that painting but, obviously, things don't become symbols for nothing.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/3/ENFL5410864060053.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pigs Of Provence.]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=CKAB54108640609647</link><description><![CDATA[<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/6/WNGM54108640609646.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Europe.]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=SRXG541086406010834</link><description><![CDATA[According to an ancient Greek legend, Zeus fell in love with a beautiful nymph named Europe, turned himself into a bull and kidnapped her.
Why a bull? It's anybody's guess.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/4/PAPY541086406010834.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man With Cucumbers.]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=QGDT541086406012049</link><description><![CDATA[This is a portrait of poet Alexander Hrenov, who died in 1996 in St. Petersburg from substance abuse. Those of you familiar with 19th century Russian art may notice that this composition was inspired by Serov's Girl With Peaches.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/9/HBDH541086406012049.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cigar Cutting.]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=FURU541086406013854</link><description><![CDATA[Originally I wanted to call this painting "Romeo and Juliet" in honor of my favorite Cuban cigar brand.
In the end I decided against it, because giving different things the same name creates confusion; although, for a cigar this name sounds very appropriate.
So I'd like to dedicate this piece of art to Shakespeare, Fidel Castro and Dr. Freud.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/4/BLSE541086406013854.jpg'><br>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
