It's at the tip of my tongue. Can't remember. Lovely painting.

I thought it was a sea urchin....is it a durian fruit? No I'm not a fruit expert, I tried to identify it on the net.

I've eaten a good few but can't remember the name. I love the bitter seeds also lovely bitter gurd that's the name

Thank you! I was told they are not edible, but maybe that's wrong. Anyway, quite a complicated spiky thing to paint, and kept us busy.

It looks as though it should have legs Shirley...lol haven’t a clue what it is but it’s a smashing painting of it!

I was told the same but I enjoy say 3 in curries

Gosh, I've never seen one before.

Sea cucumber? Anyway, it's different Shirley nice painting.

I thought I was the only one who didn't know what it was. Edible hedgehog perhaps? You find unusual subjects Shirley, which is refreshing to see.

A sketchbook study of this fruit/veg which I don't know the name of. 2 happy hours today, with Hannah painting too.
