Typically when an artist begins the journey into the creative realm, it begins with basic shapes of still life. This involves a nice piece of cloth and fruit. Years ago when I worked for Big Bear, I got used to lifting boxes everyday to put on a cart and stock the shelves.
Back in the prep-room, I find myself lifting a box of four watermelon to cut up in various different appetizing ways.
Probably not much can be said for that feat; I am sure many have lifted heavier but for me it was difficult at first but I am getting used to it. Boxes of cantaloupe and honeydew melon, pineapple, strawberries, basically, berries in general have been my version of weight training. Oh yes the salad bar adds just a little more. They were right, fruit can make you healthier both inside and out.
In my mind I can set up my own little "Still Life" example to paint, as much as I do during a day. I always go over my day's work in my head the night before to help speed up my process.
I am sure it would make a wonderful work of art!
