I don't know this fruit, it looks like a red pinecone. Lovely done.

I just clicked on the photo on the right and saw all your photos there.
Marvelous!!!! fun to visit Paris this way.

Lovely colors but I too don't reconize the fruit. Could it be a pomegranate?
Loving your Paris photos.

Oh my, I don't know the name of this fruit neither, cause I forgot it. I bought the fruit on the market because I loved it's colour and it looked so exotic to me (is too:).
I'll show you another painting with the insides of the fruit, so perhaps someone knows what it is then?
love
Andrea

PS It's not a pomegrenade.

PPS: The fruit looks as if it was floating somehow, because I did it's shadow in black. Normally should have used the complimentary color of the fruit to paint the shadow, that would have "ancored" the thing to the ground...

So, it's floating now, like a hovercraft.

Hi Andrea, I really like this red fruit...it is interesting how it has layers. I love the red/orange/yellow colors and you have worked the shadow play of these warm hues so well. Nice work!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Beautiful colours, Andrea! I love the bits of green peeping through the red fruit. You have handled the background well. We had some strange Indian fruits when living in the Middle East, this looks just like one of these fruits.
