As promisedPersimmon Art
I don't know what it is about this fruit, but I am absolutely fascinated by it. Well, I do know what it is - it's the color for one thing - with a little yellow in the highlights and a little blue in the shadows. The green of the leaves is such an earthy green. The center/stem is just a mixture of the fruit color and the leaf color together.
The texture of the fruit is SMOOTH and shiny, but with kind of a dusty residue on it.
I am FAR from being a mathematician, but there is some Fibonocci thing going on here with the shape and size and position of the leaves and stem. They make a fantastic pattern when they are all lined up in a display. I only bought one ($1.48), but I did a little sketch on the journal page of how I remember them looking there in the produce department . They were in a slanted bin.
The colors I used were pyrol orange, hansa yellow, manganese blue, and a little quinacridone gold.
Okay. I guess that's it for my obsessing over the persimmon. I may still obsess, but you won't have to hear about it.
Hmmm - how do we tell if it is ripe?
