Grapefruit and Cherries

 I bought this grapefruit and it was supposed to be a red one inside.
My initial disappointment with its color disappeared, however, when I started painting it.

Garden Strawberries

It's very warm and dry in Russia now, so I have to water my lakeside garden to keep the more fragile plants alive. Strawberries are very much alive anyway, no matter watered or not. Dry weather makes them much sweeter, although smaller maybe. I hope you can see that on this painting.

Limes and Leaves

I have just discovered the beauty of the lime, and my daughter made a parallel discovery of its gustatory appeal. She cuts my models into little pieces and eats them.

Citrus Delight

This certain clementine has given up a fifth of her edible self for humans to eat. :)
I just got some gessoboards 5"x5", a new size for me. I have never tried it before, and 6"x6" always seemed like a TINY size for me to paint on. But now, even more miniature!
I like that new size; it's a new experience for me. I've found that painting miniature is a "delight" for my liking. Oh, by the way, they are delicious!!
