"Pairs"

10 x 24 Oil on Linen, 2008

 
I like to watch couples. I watch all people when I am out, but I like watching couples interact. New couples like the pears in the center who just fell in love. Old couples like the pears on the left who are best friends and lean towards each other. Big red faced, jolly, overweight couples like the persimmons, young teenage couples like the apricots. Couples who separated like the pears on the end. Quiet couples like the cherries. Two groups that form couples like the grapes. As I looked at if after completion I realized there was one single cherry and an extra grape. Perhaps they will wind up together.
