'Just Blobs' #1

Laura - a keen, admirably talented & astonishingly varied & prolific artist herself - was of the opinion that a small collection of found fruit (other things apart from 'roadkill' cans being picked up from the kerbside) would provide unlikely & unpromising subject matter for drawing, as the result would be 'just blobs': perhaps she was right.
Something insistent about the range & combination of colours suggested they should be acknowledged & recorded.

This particular arrangement remains mostly faithful to the manner in which the fruits were casually scattered on the windowsill, with only minimal tweaking in terms of placing & spacing, thus doubling the 'found' aspect of the subject matter.
