6 in. x 6 in., acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

Being half French, there are just some French words that are much more fun than their English counterpart, hence the name of this little piece. I used quinacridone magenta extensively in this painting, both for the underpainting of the background and in the red mixture for the grapefruit flesh. The magenta and red pigments to paint the fruit were so hot, I had to cool down the background with an icy lavender wash to provide some visual relief. I painted this from Instagram's weekly #foodpaintchallenge and I'd like to thank @dennispfeil and @alaiganuza for the great reference photo.
