This painting is about painting smell. The peaches, last of the sweet summer delights, smelled divine, tempting my family while they were ‘off limits’ as models. We did a lot of baking and lingering vanilla pods were laying on the counter so they joined the scent symphony along with jasmine green tea that I make in the Asian teapot. The association is so strong that seeing the painting I immediately smell peach, vanilla and jasmine, sense of smell awakened. - Tatyana Kulida
