KIWI HALF, 5X7 OIL, SOLD

,

Yesterday I promised to post another in my series of halves of fruits and vegetables.  Today I present a kiwi.  Usually you see them cut in circles and I think they are quite different from this angle.  Hope you like it, I have another ready for tomorrow.

KIWI AND BLUEBERRIES, 5X7, OIL, SOLD

More berries and kiwi.  I need to get off this still life kick, or at least, branch out into flowers!  Food is so easy, just throw it in the fridge and it comes out looking yummy and fresh.  Flowers are only good a day or two.

BERRIES AND KIWI, 11X14, OIL SOLD

The fruit was really nice at the grocery and I bought several varities.  Naturally, it looked too good to eat, so first I painted.  I did have fun with this one, it was enjoyable using all the vivid colors.

Debbie Schiff of South Africa has awarded me the Sunshine Award.  I met Debbie on Facebook due to the same last name.  My husband's family originally  came to the US from South Africa and I thought we might have a family connection (still don't know).  Anyway, Debbie is a skilled watercolorist and I hope you will visit her blog here.  Debbie, keep those beautiful watercolor/ink sketches comming, and thank you so much for this award.

Another little connection.  I was checking out all the artists that Debbie sent this award to when I stumbled upon one that focused on Viera Wetlands birders.  Turns out , this artist is from Tennessee and has recently been visiting  the Wetlands to photograph the variety of birds that gather.  The Wetlands are about 5 miles from my home.  So, while sitting in my home, in just a few minutes, I find a connection to South Africa and then one down the street from me.  Do you remember that old movie "Around the World in 80 Days"?  Now it is more like, around the world in 80 seconds!
