Going Gently

Comments

Nature has such amazing shapes, colours and nooks and crannies. This painting has demonstrated its diversity, beauty and strangeness Roger.

Do you NEVER get to eat any of these Roger? I should talk, I've got a couple of dried up pomegranates which were earmarked for a Still Life - but when they were fresh. You would love them ( but I know you've been there, done that). Great chiaroscuro again!

Ha ha, just read your very amusing intro.

Thank you both..very much appreciated. Marjorie.. I wouldn't eat these wearing a face mask and rubber gloves! Which way round they go is another issue! Have looked for your recent work but see nothing...yet again. Will try again tomorrow. Good to 'see' you ...hope you are well. Incidentally, if you're still there, what's your opinion on the "Flog it on line" innovation?

So good, as always, Roger

Lasted for quite some time before the inevitability of decay set in and daily changed the form and colour as it went gentle into that gourd night...sorry Dylan Thomas. I thought that it would be easy but turned out t be a bit of a bugger. Now composting but the image is testament to its existence...good grief...I feel a rhyming couplet coming on... 'there was a gourd so fine and tall... it had its day as do we all....' No groans please! Oil on canvas 54x32cm from life
