I just love the look and taste of figs, and this painting highlights the contrasting color and value of the black and green figs. The colors in the plate mimic these colors, and the designs in it made a nice contrasting foil. While sticking to the color scheme of black, purple and green (with a touch of red), I varied the textures throughout, with the satin fabric, soft figs, smooth plate and glass, and the rough textured background.
