I love Fall! I am a fruit and seed pod passionEsta. I love walking on the trail this time of year for everyone is bearing the "fruits of their labor". Here is a pomegranate fruit, one of several that my husband brought home for me to paint. At first the skin was a light pink and its skin was so smooth. After three weeks, the fruits become this wonderful leathery beauty with rich oranges and scarlet red.

Linda, that is a wonderful rendering of a pomegranate.
ReplyDeleteIt's just luminous, Linda! They grow pomegranates at Williamsburg? Hothouse?
ReplyDeleteStunning! I'm with you... bring on the fruits and nuts... to paint :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all.....the tree is on a golf course and its trunk is at least three feet diameter. I can't wait to visit it in the spring to paint its flowers.
