The photo on this isn't the best, but I thought it was worth posting. I painted Cantaloupe Reflections back in 1996. I think there was a long period where I was enamoured with anything fruit or vegetable! This painting gave me my first acceptance into The Pastel Society of America's annual juried show. It was their show in 1996, and I was so excited! You could have knocked me over with a feather, there was no bringing me down from that thrill. It is such an honor to be accepted, and I was floating on a cloud. Since that event, this painting has won a "Best in Show", and some First Place ribbons in local venues. Every time I look at it memories come flooding back to me. It's just a painting of fruit, but for me it was a milestone.

well done on getting your blog up and running, I understand the teething troubles, it is a bit of a learning curve. Do visit me at mine, you will perhaps get a few ideas for add-ons to yours!
I love this particular image, makes me yearn to go cut up some melons.....
I love this one. It has so much depth and richness. The light pouring over and through the fruit is wonderful, makes them look so juicy and tempting!
Hi Jackie! Thanks so much for stopping by. I've visited yours, wonderful place your blog. I still cannot seem to comment on it though, not sure why. I'll keep trying!
Thanks so much Robert. This was an interesting painting, my studio smelled like cantaloupe for days after I finished it. I had to paint quickly, cantelopes do not wait for anybody!
