I am still working on the baby/skunk cabbage thingy, but here is a smaller still life that I began yesterday. I am recovering from the push to finish the portfolio and the race to finish my last very large painting. This seems a little easier to tackle right now. I am considering it as part of a larger piece - three or perhaps nine same sized canvases with more pomegranates. We will see. Happy New Year to everyone!Monday, December 31, 2007
Pomegranates 12" x 12"

Happy new year, indeed! (happy birthday, too!)
The pomegranate is my favorite fruit and I love the rustic feel here. I hope it's okay to call it rustic. But when you get to thinking about it, pomegranates are kind of rustic-looking in person. Will you also be tackling the arils?
I had to look up "arils"...yes, sorry. So, I had thought of slicing one open and painting the seeds - perhaps even the stain I anticipate it leaving on the tablecloth. But it all depends on how well the pomegranates hold up and whether I can purchase replacements. The supermarkets were overflowing with them before Christmas, but on Saturday they were hard to find...
Claudine!!!! Thanks for the congratulatory message - and congrats to you too for getting a painting into a show!
Thanks too for all the comments you leave on my blog encouraging me with my art ... I really appreciate it (even if I'm sometimes slow to reply). I think part of this year's art goals will be to lean how to do skin tones :)
Happy New Year my lovely ...
Hugs
