Sweet Persimmon

Sweet Persimmon

6x6 Oil

Oh where, oh where does the weekend go? I really do think the weekends should be longer. I just didn't get as much done as I wanted to. I hope everyone else's weekend was longer than mine!

I gave the persimmon another go and in the process I have found that I prefer painting on a linen surface rather than canvas. I always have had expensive tastes!

My latest news is that I've been invited to participate in an oils show in December/Jan. I'm looking forward to sharing gallery space with some top area artists.  I'll share the details soon.

The Mysterious Persimmon

"The Mysterious Persimmon"

6x8 oil

A still life! Something a little different for me. It's been a while since I've painted one. I love the colors in the one and am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Not much to say about these little fruits. I've only painted them, never tried them. What do you do with them? Make pie? Jelly?  I just find them to be intriguing and mysterious... there's got to be some kind of story in the mysteries of this luscious little fruit. 

To all you writers out there - the challenge is on!
