Wonderful concept! You have great imagination.
You bring experimenting with creativity in collage, a new meaning!
The colours all blend in very well and the addition of eyes make it a touch sinister!
If your husband had to liken himself to a fruit which woud it be??? LOL I think he'd have a job answering that one seeing this gives the illusion he's covered in them!

Thank you so much for your complimentary and through review. I don't know what my husband would chose. He actually dislike both fruit and vegetables. I always have to make him eat them.

Oh heck! Poor hubby!! Excellent collage take, though.

This is very interesting to say the least. I can't say that the concept and style really appeals to me, but you've done an excellent job putting this together. It certainly catches attention.

Thank you for your honest review. The style is borrowed as the title suggest. Just in the style of and as a homage for an painter of the past who was fascinating artists and art lovers over 500 years.
Comment from Bluesavanagh
well I will certainly look much closer at whats watching me from the veg rack at the grocery store from tomorrow.#normally its something creepy hiding in the lettuce.~
Excellent artistic skills used to create this piece.
Splendid choice of subject.
With the details & expressiveness you have added to bring your work to life
I do appreciate the difficulty & efforts of your work & the time spent. On the finest details.
Which are so evident in this fabulous work
A pleasure to review. Jinni.~

Thank you so much Jinny. Arcimboldo himself did portraits with almost everything you could eat and even with books and kitchen stuff. So watch your entire household :-)

A remarkable arrangement. A lot of work. Bright colours well exposed. A great composition. Makes a good poster - '5 A Day'. Demands attention - the eyes ensure that.

Thank you so much Jac, Yes my husband saw it. He didn't know for sure what to make of it. I would say he accepted it and wasn't sure if he liked it too.

Thank you so much. You should have seen Phil's face when he saw that. He didn't know what to make of it. If he was honored or insulted but I got his acceptance an permission.
