Lovely soft transitions...and yellows and violets...my favourites! Summer!

I’d never have thought of painting these in a million years… but you’ve spotted their potential Marjorie, nice job as well!

Thanks a lot everyone! Are they prolific in Spain Alan - I expect they are.

They certainly are prolific, when a pod drops off it will start to grow within days, whatever the ground conditions!

Tricky subject well painted Marjorie

An uncommon fruit we rarely see in paintings Marjorie. It appears more exotic and inviting with the backdrop of the sea and makes a lovely painting. Devil of a fruit to tackle though and you usually end up with a prickly mouth and hands.

I’ve always meant to try them….. thanks again for the comments!

They are beautiful against the blue sky, and beautifully painted - lovely textures.

Gorgeous soft colours and shapes.

Really interesting shapes and composition!
