"Flaming Banana Fosters" is based on the popular New Orleans dessert. Typically the dessert is referred to as 'flaming bananas foster' or ‘bananas foster’. I took artistic license and moved the plural form 's' from the end of 'banana' and added it to the end of 'foster' to make it 'Fosters’, which is also the name of a popular Australian beer. An added touch, I painted condensation droplets on the Fosters label to give the indication that it is cold.
From my "Series of Pun Paintings". In my 'Pun Paintings' I deconstructs the English language by use of the pun. I was once told “it isn’t what you paint, but how you paint it.” I became bound and determined to prove that statement wrong. In my work, it is not only about what I paint but the way in which it is painted. My Pun Paintings appeal to me personally for the humorous aspect and the witty form of intellectual play. Collectors of my work have expressed how much they love living with his work, every time they see it, it makes them happy and smile and ready for whatever activity is next on the agenda.
