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.

Melon and Strawberries

SOLD

 A friend of mine gave me this little melon. She had no idea I was going to paint it! The strawberries are from my garden.
