Found this lonely little Persimmon on a walk. I finally
know the difference between Persimmons and
Pomegranates thanks to the Pomegranate paintings
I've been doing.
This was a really crazy pattern. The scalloped designs are
part of a dragon body. Very Oriental. I could not get it
to photograph with the correct colors. The creamy looking
areas are actually a light Ocher that matches the dish. I was
able to tweak the dish to the right shade, but when I tried
the fabric areas it made the purple lines turn red. Oh well.

Photographing paintings is sometimes harder than painting them...grrr!
This one has a lovely feel to it, correct color or not!!
gwen, this is amazing! you've taken your still life to another level. this has a wonderful graphic quality.
Gwen, this is so beautiful. It makes me think of my grandmother's persimmon tree in the backyard. I love the colors, composition, everything!
Very nice composition! I'm actually visiting my daughter, and I've just realized how much difference a different computer monitor can make in the colors in your paintings. We may all be seeing this diferently! Even so, it's lovely.
Beautiful, always!
You have so much fun with the backgrounds in your still lifes. This persimmon is lovely, but the background makes it striking!
Love the look of your signature fabrics within your still life paintings. The swirls and colours in the leaf end of the persimmon picks up on the colours and swirls in the fabric.
Nice piece!

Gwen, photographing and color correcting artwork can be very frustrating!
Aside from that your painting has great color and design...just beautiful!
Your still life paintings are so wonderful. Your painting of the fabrics adds such great design to your work.
Such stunning colors! Must have been fun to do. The previous post is a masterpiece. It is busy without being busy. The eye goes immediately to the tomatoes, contrasted so nicely with the blue. The fabric is a gentle note of color and balance. Wow!
Je suis certaine que l'original est encore plus beau... J'aime l'association de vos sujet avec les fonds...
another masterpiece. Love this one the persimmon looks so real.
Love the composition.
Wow! This really caught my attention - I LOVE it! Great patterns and colours.
The leaves are echoed in the pattern...nice.
Hi Gwen,
It's amazing how the shapes of the persimmon leaves echo the fabric and vice versa, very, very cool!
You are so good.

A lovely composition Gwen, I have never heard of a persimmon before it does look like a pomegranate which I love)
Well this os just too cool. Love the realistic, softer feel of the persimmon against the graphic, hard edge plate and cloth.
really great job Gwen. You are on a roll with this series you are doing. Everyone a real jewel.
As usual...your work just blows me away Gwen!
This is just so BEAUTIFUL!!!
Wonderful, Gwen!! I like you "Spaghette Ready," too. You're just getting better and better!
Photographing is harder (for me, at least) than painting! Getting the color correct is almost impossible!
The colours in this one are gorgeous. I see I have missed quite a few great postings in the last few weeks. You are really becoming a pattern expert!
