Bananas!! (actually plantains). I'm basing the bunch of plantains on a photograph I took when I lived in New Orleans in the mid 1990's. While driving down the street one day I saw that someone had cut off this enormous bunch of green plantains and placed it on the sidewalk to be picked up with the trash. I found it beautiful and extremely exotic so I took it back to my studio, hung it from the ceiling and photographed it. I did a couple paintings using this image back then and am happy to be revisiting it now, about 15 years later.
