The predicted rain was delayed so we painters had a nice but overcast morning to paint at the mill. One of the features of the property is the Pomegranate Patio. In September I mentioned that the pomegranates weren't red and ripe yet. Now in October, the ones in the sun look beautiful, but there is still some paler fruit on the shadier, north sides of the trees. A few of the pomegranates were ripe enough to split open. Several artists were drawing and painting the gorgeous lower fruit but I still felt like trying a wider view. Here is my painting (8"x10"), photo of my view, and a photo of the beautiful fruit on the trees.
I really like your work. I'm thinking about going and snitching pomegranates.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara! I wonder if anyone snitches pomegranates...at least go and take some photos. :-)
DeletePomegranates are one of my favorite fruits. I think I like your painting MORE than the photograph, Sherry. Well done. How lucky are you to live near where they grow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry! I always hope our artwork is somehow more likable than most photos. These pomegranates are more beautiful than ones I've seen for sale this fall.
DeleteI love pomegranates, is one of my favorite fruits :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed by the way you translate reality on your paper Sherry! I like the colours you used on this one and the wonderful game of your shadows!
Warm regards.
