Passion Fruit

At the Artist’s Play Room this week the theme is colour combinations.  I chose purple and yellow – purplow.

Actually this is a continuation of last week’s theme.  I was going to do passion fruit as it is my favourite fruit, but I got bogged down in problems. It was hard to get the yellows right without looking muddy!  I had several attempts. See below.

 

This one I felt I had got the whole passion fruit too smooth, wee...ll, it doesn’t look right to me, and the half the yellow is very muddy.  .  I know I am being a perfectionist!  Actually it looks better here than in real life?

This one is actually my favourite out of all the attempts, it has a more natural feel to it and slightly abstract.

 

If like me you love passion fruit and fruit in general, go to and see what my digital playtime with some photos of passion fruit, figs and grapes from my garden, here.

I tell you one thing, out of the 12 passion fruits I harvested last week I have only one left, and that probably won’t last the day!

Happy APR and Jen if you are reading these posts, get well, look after yourself and you are in my prayers.

Yummy Fruit

I love fruit. Apples,oranges, plums, nectarines, passion fruit, you name it.

 

I thought I would kill two birds with one stone today.  First paint some fruit from my fruit bowl for Diana Evans 10 Minute Warm Up linky. Second, the prompt at Jen’s Artists Play Room this week is fruit.

Well, the painting actually took 15 minutes, and as usual my hands took me on a colour journey and I forgot I was meant to be paint fruit!  Well there is definitely an apple at the back and an orange at the front, the rest well….

Have a happy APR everybody!
