A Slice of Melon — Fine Art

A Slice of Melon - 1990 shows a cut piece of fruit with its pink flesh and pale skin set against a flat ground. Mary Fedden often painted still life objects with clear outlines and simple colour blocks. The shape sits plainly on the paper and the shadows stay soft.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The print comes ready to hang with a metal hanger fitted to the back. It goes straight onto a nail or screw without a separate frame. The matte paper keeps the pink and white tones soft and stops shine under a lamp.

In a kitchen, you see the melon shape first when you walk in from the hall. From the breakfast table you notice the painted outline. The fruit piece stays clear on the wall above the counter.
