The first of the persimmons have just arrived at the grocery store. I love painting these exotic little fruits. I see more persimmon paintings on the horizon....
Hi Kathrine and Hilda, thanks so much for commenting. I'm very drawn to the warm colours. I realize I paint with them repeatedly. For those of you who haven't tasted a persimmon, they are really sweet and juicy with a consistency like soft melon, (when eaten in Japan). I've tried them here and they don't compare.
Hi there. I'm a Still Life and Landscape Artist living in Victoria BC, Canada, situated on Vancouver Island. A Design graduate, I also studied Fine Arts in France and Victoria. I'm an award winning artist, and an Active Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
I love painting, and the aim of this Blog is to document my journey as an painter. With each new painting I learn a lesson to hopefully add to my painting knowledge. The more I learn the more I realize that the learning is endless, which makes painting such a wonderful lifelong love. By painting small works frequently, I anticipate refining my painting style and skills to keep the learning fire burning, and I find that a really exciting prospect. Please feel free to comment and I hope you enjoy my posts.
Beautiful blend of reds and oranges! I've never had a persimmon. It sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors....I, like Katherine have never tasted a persimmon. I'll have to try one! Great painting Claire.
