Fields of Gold

I have felt a strong need to paint colorful, vibrant fruit in a natural setting for a very long time. I also enjoy painting the figure and wanted to pair together a person who embodied the spirit of the tree ripened peaches. I am an illustrator who loves to use a painterly style every now and then, and this piece gave me the opportunity to render a figure as an illustrator while allowing me to express myself as a painter as well.
