Winter outside; saw this plate of fruit, unpeeled. I’ve been thinking about it, thinking about what to say about it since I took this picture two weeks ago. I think it was being used as a model for a still life painting by a local artist with Monet (or was that Manet?) aspirations but by the I saw it no artist, paint brush, canvas or easel in sight. Just all this enclosed juicy Vitamin C. Winter outside, this plate reminds us of shipping, the fruit all from southern climes, here for us to prevent scurvy, give us tangy comfort from the chill of facing mortality.
