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.

Melon and Cherries

The focal point of this work for me was the transparent part of the melon in the shadow (next to the seeds). In Russia, the fruit season is a fleeting moment - a few weeks for each kind of fruit. Cherries' season will soon be over, as well as melons'. That's why we have to be fast in our appreciation of these gifts of nature here and, literally, cherish each moment of summer.

Teacup and Apricot

These cup and saucer are from the same set as the creamer I painted a few days ago. I liked the combination of its colors with the color of an apricot on the blue background. I hope you'll like it too :)
