Whilst sorting through a stack of old painting I came across this one .
Done in 2005, if I remember I was influenced by painting I had seen of and thought I would do something similar. All respect and honour to the original art
for the idea in the first place, though I think they were quite different. So up to date my idea was to have another attempt to see how I might do it different .
The initial sketch for the new painting I though I would do the fruits overripe and starting to burst.

Thanks Lew and Carole for commenting. I was happy with the first painting Lew but thought I would like to give it another go more from the point of how would I do it now. I had no preconceived ideas just going along with it hence the sudden addition of the wasps. I’m also using brighter colours than originally what I’m conscious of is I will need to be a bit bolder the darker colours I think.

It’s still on the board as you can see and not dry. I think it’s finished but then toy with the idea of making the dark area centre right even darker . I’m shying away as I don’t want to spoil what I have done. I’m mindful of a comment Robert Jones made in another thread about watercolour painter not using bolder darks , my words not his. I do agree that I and I notice other watercolour painters tend to use less darks that other mediums. I will give it a day or so before posting on the gallery.
