Watermelon and Kiwi Fruit Fine Art Prints

Hello from Virginia! I hope where ever you live you are having a great time this Fourth of July week end. We are having really hot weather, today it was 95 degrees, to hot to be comfortable...

Well I think watermelon is one of my favorite foods to serve when the weather is so hot, like today. Of course we purchased this watermelon from the grocery store and after I cut it open I photographed the composition on the plate along with some kiwi fruit to add a bit of green...then we ate the melon for dinner. So using it in a painting seemed to be the right thing for me to do.

Wattermelon and Kiwi Fruit

Hello! It is a beautiful sun shiny day here in Virginia and I hope your life is moving along smoothly…

What do you think about color? Is color something that you use in your home decorating? I do, I use lots of color and I also wear bright colors, not gaudy but cheerful colors.

So today I'm going to publish the fine art prints of a painting that I did of a red and green watermelon that my daughter bought from the produce department in our food store.

Vision this print in a beautiful matted 2 or 3 inch frame hanging on your kitchen or dining room walls. The bright cheerful colors of the green and red watermelon along with the green Kiwis' will make a great addition

of color for your kitchen or dinning room walls.
