“The Nose of a Fruit Fly”

The original painting is created upon an old, reclaimed piece of wood. I used oil, cold wax, embroidery, and solvents to intuitively build up the painting layer by layer.

I have often wondered what the nose looks like and how it works on a Fruit Fly – in order for it to so very quickly find the fruit left out on the counter or the leftover wine in a glass. The Nose of a Fruit Fly hopefully answers this question for us. It is from my Stories on Wood Collection.

Printed with a professional grade printer, I use archival pigment inks on fine art paper. Therefore, do not place in direct sunlight unless framed with UV protective glass. 10” x 8” prints will fit nicely into a standard 10” x 8” frame. For the 13” x 10” prints any standard or custom frame over 14” x 11” can work with a custom sized mat.

My images are reproduced according to the scale/proportions of the original painting. Therefore, each print will have around a 1/2" white border (maybe more depending on the original proportions of the painting) on the top, sides, and bottom. The title of the painting and my studio name are printed underneath the image. Your order will arrive packaged in a protective stiff mailer.
