In my research, I include old paintings and drawings for visual information on historical buildings, plants and food. When I research food, fruit and vegetables, I like to study the works of early artists. Where the still-life was painted, is good indication of where the fruit grew. I enjoy the old masters and their interpretation of life around them.

| Still life with pomegranate and quince - Towerwater |
I found that the quince and the pomegranate were painted by a couple of the old masters around the Mediterranean area. I can safely rely on the artist painting from life and creating the still-life subject in close proximity to where the plants, fruit or vegetables had grown.
