"For several weeks now, I have been painting pictures of watermelons."
Does anyone have a problem with that? i don't see anything wrong with that. People paint pictures of fruit all the time. Sure maybe they have bowls of fruit that are elegant and small but really Watermelons are large and robust, they have a lot of vitamins and a ton of water. I think the reason i paint water melons so much is because when i was young i got into a fight with my brother. it was over something dumb like which one of us was uglier, it was immature. He was uglier. But anyway we got into a fight and he got madder and madder and then when he could not take it anymore i watched in awe as he picked up a baseball bat (we were out side having lunch) and hit a water melon like it was a zombie skull. Everything happened in slow motion as the water melon cracked, sending a splash of water in every direction, and then the juicy red rich contents of the fruit were blasted into the world. water melon went flying like the shells of a bomb. it was like magic. it was beautiful. my brother stood there panting with a melony baseball bat staring at what he just did. I was also staring at the place where the water melon had just been. A tear, slid down my cheek and to this day i have no idea why. That had to be one of the weirdest moments of my life. That water melon was totally distorted, and we did not know why that effected us so much. Thats why i paint water melons. because of my childhood.
