A basket full of mangoes, lemons, kiwi fruit, bananas and an apple, in watercolour pencils. I'm tossing up whether to add water to this or simply leave it as is. It is not my best effort, but I thought I would post it any way, if only to prove that I am actually creating every day! Mangoes are back in season again here in Australia. Yay! I love eating them and sucking the juice and flesh from the seed and skin. The smell of ripe mango is just the best thing ever.

Art Every Day - A Basket of Fruit

I like this picture just the way it is.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a talent.
And mangoes rule!!!
I have only tasted truly ripe mango twice: once in Bolivia and once in Florida. What an experience! You can't get them truly ripe in stores outside of tropical areas, so most people have no idea how they are supposed to taste. I'm glad you posted your still life anyway. I like it.
ReplyDeletePatti - Gorgeous watercolor! I can almost smell the mango from here. Also, love your choice of music today (Steppenwolf). Keep creating!
ReplyDeleteKeep on keepin on - just wonderful
ReplyDeleteVery nice as it is. There is something about posting a picture every day...I don't even know what it is. Some kind of challenge and/or at times pressure. I post things I am not thrilled with. But for me it is part of creating to make some things that don't thrill me. The surprise is that often other people respond positively to the thing I don't like so much. Which shows me who am I to judge my own or anyone's stuff.
ReplyDeleteHi, Patti. Consider yourself tagged for 7 random things if you have not already done it. And if you want to.
ReplyDeletebeautiful work, patti!
ReplyDeletei love those dancing hearts below too. :-)
I love this as is!!!! Watercolor pencils - nice! It's so cool to see you trying different mediums. Your work always makes me think of this word: GRATITUDE.
ReplyDeleteMangoes ... juicy goodness!
Oh this looks good as it is, I love the yellows and green, enhanced by the vilot window...
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to bite into a Mango right now.
