    /// Chestnuts strewn near a plateful of fruit.

    And a glass. (Could that be Absolut?)

    Plus a jutting fruit knife

    form this boring still life,

    about which I do not give a hoot.

    John meticulously painted the still life apples and grapes for his assignment. Every one of his classmates in he college class fumbled through the nude life model painting…confirming both John’s artistic talent and a stereotype that went with it.

    Since these apples aren’t little and green, does that mean it can rain in Indianapolis in the summertime?

    Ishmael has nine apples and gives one to each of his friends. How many apples does Ishmael now have?

    A painting depicting some fruit,

    Makes me speechless and renders me mute.

    There’s not much to write,

    About something so trite,

    And not many words rhyme with ‘fruit’.

    An apple a day keeps the Doc away — but after drinking shots, more than one is needed.

    Still Life, Apples and Chestnuts

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:John F. Francis" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Brave search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found, and once there find the text string 2,247, and click its link for info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3446 (January 19, 2025) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu. I’ve added a comment there pointing to the info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, first work by him used here.
