from the Series : The Paranoia of F ruit and Veg e tables
Have you ever noticed how a Pomegranate given the opportunity will stare for hours and hours at it’s own reflection ?
No Nor nor nor had I until yes ter day when
I happened upon this very scene in a dark and dusty corner of my studio
It was the sound of lemons being peeled by the ever industrious Mr and Mrs Wasp
that first aroused my attention

| detail of The Vain Pomegranate |
and there before me was a scene stolen from the 17th Century
redolent with the scent of ancient chalk dust and wasp wings
I just had to take a snap and here it is
 | |||
| The Vain Pomegranate |
And there she was Lady PushPeter of the Pom e granates
Preening
Perched on a column of platitude
admiring herself and her rather coquettish feather
Does a Pomegranate Preen ?
Please write your answer on a wasp wing of your choice
whisper to the wasp
and point it in my direction
The wasp that makes me laugh the most will receive a free wasp sized print of
The Vain Pomegranate with no Stings attached
Granada Granada Granada
Editors Note : Any reference to Bleeding Hearts , Ratatoiulle or Frederick The Great Elector
of Brandenburg Prussia are purely coinci dental
