WHAT is this strange and beautiful fruit???? Only grown in Paris?? A figment of your imagination?? I don't know what it is - but it makes me hungry for cherry pie - for breakfast. Think I'll go have some.Good morning to you Red! How is Sweet Axelle? Up and on the run again, I do hope.

This is really wonderful. I love the way you are able to use the colors to show off the textures of the fruit. One of the things I believe is so appealing is the painting makes you curious about how it feels...are the leaves firm like an artichoke leaves or soft like a flower's petals? Is the seedy center creamy or crumbly? You have captured this so nicely and left just the perfect amount of "wondering room"! Really nice from so many aspects.

Have a Lovely Afternoon in Paris!

What the heck IS this beautiful fruit. Please find out it is driving me nuts not knowing. LOL
Again, so well done.

Oh how wonderful. Now I am really hungry for fruit. But home made sauce and pasta will have to do. It is red anyway. Looks kind of like a Kiwi. enjoy pjc

pomegranite? I like the close up view and the use of oil pastels which I have been using this week to little success.

You have captured the mystery fruit beautifully with the oil pastels. I am also experimenting with oil bars, are these the same as oil pastels?

Beautiful work...I particularly fancy the background on the one posted yesterday. I tore out a advertisment with a pomegranite that I saved to reference for a pencil drawing because I loved the red.

am trying to think what this reminds me of... maybe a sundial.
