Inspiration for “Perennial Fruits” centered around a feeling of connection. The arrangement was a collaboration of items that seemed arbitrary but ended up stirring memories of experiences. The objects came from different places, some were mine, some were a friends, and on the surface, simply “things”. Yet upon engaging with the painting process, I found myself traveling through time. This is part of the wonder I find in painting and as an observer of paintings.

I think art creates opportunities to explore ourselves. It helps us learn more about our nature without even trying. Each person brings their own life story to the artwork. This gives it special meaning. That’s part of the magic. It’s about the connection. This is why I chose it to be part of the Table Top Stories collection.

This painting was created on a masonite panel in oils and is a signed original. If you have any questions contact me at cmartzloffart@gmail.com.
