Another daily painting from yesterday 24th. More expensive fruit as a model. Also, never seen or heard of this fruit before.
Oil on canvas paper, size: small.

Nice job I've not heard of this fruit either..

 

[Grapes]

Thanks

Beautifully done, Grapes! I like how the simple background really makes this fruit stand out. Your still life subjects are so exotic and I hope they all taste good.

Very nice .. great edges

 

[Grapes]

Donna, thank you! I used burnt umber for the background, long time ago I stopped using it for the backgrounds but I might start using it again. Besides I have several color tubes of that. Burnt umber seemed somehow helping in the painting process.

Wayne, thank you!

Grapes, very convincing as three dimensional due to your expert highlights and shading. Beautiful transparent shadow.

 

[Grapes]

Thanks Joy, this one was fun to paint.

I've not heard of it either, but you've done a beautiful job with it. Nice rich colors.

They are also known as passion fruit, which may be more familiar to you.

Sno, thank you so much!
I wonder if these fruits are new ones meaning recently processed because many of us haven't seen these before!
Hermes, thanks

Beautiful and true to life. We had these in South America. Yummy.

Jo, thank you! Interesting that you had these in South America. Your right, we ate these in Christmas and they are very good
