STILL LIFE

Suzanne Poursine Massion

Food is beautiful!
Preparing food is an art!

Most of my still life work includes food of all kinds and the cooking instruments used in the preparation and serving of food. I keep a bowl of those bright green Granny Smith apples on my dining room table, directly under the painting A Diversion of Apples. Sometimes a plate of oranges, lemons, and limes sits on my kitchen counter, simply because I love the color.

Apples of all varieties, green peppers, cabbage, grapefruit, shrimp, nut bread, strands of wheat, cucumbers, salads, and strawberries; all things delicious make an appearance in the paintings on this page.

You also see tea kettles, plates, bowls, wine bottles, table cloths, and utensils.

One art patron nick-named my still lifes the “Kitchen Paintings” because they add flavor to spaces where people gather for a meal, a glass of wine, afternoon tea, a light snack and conversation.

I love the idea of art collectors acquiring my work to enhance an area where food is prepared and served. These paintings were created for all food lovers who also love art. Bon Appetite!
