Please forgive my absence as I came home from Florida a week ago to a dirty house with Christmas decorations still in evidence. It took me longer than I thought it would to get back on the horse. No matter. Today my friend Sally Dean invited me over to her fabulous little home studio. We painted a watermelon still life. Both of us braving the elipses. I cropped mine because this is the best part of the painting and shouldn't go to waste. It was good for the spirit and the soul to just sit with a friend and paint and chat a bit.

Watermelon Still life (detail)

Glad you're back. Love this painting.
Love these magnificent colors that just grab you and pull you into the painting!
Yay yay ayay you are back, and I love this one...As you know I love color! It's fun to see something other than a pear or an apple, as I am guilty of! The pinky orange color is so summery! Perfect!

Your work is really lovely and I have been enjoying reading your posts and seeing the pictures of your process.

I had a similar pleasant experience with my son and girlfriend. We were in VT for my son's graduation recently. A post graduation barbecue had been planned at North Beach in Burlington but it was rainy and windy. We ended up going to their apartment and painting the afternoon away. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!
