A full bowl - Day 5

AQUARELLA  -  5 X 7 INCHES
ON FABRIANO PAPER
A FULL BOWL
 
La période des cerises s'achèvent et ces petits fruits succulents nous proviennent de l'état de Washington.  J'ai eu des difficultés à peindre avec les rouges , mes cerises ne sont pas mûres  et le papier ne veut plus absorber aucun jus  d'aquarelle.. Je ne crois pas non plus qu'attendre quelques jours les fera mûrir davantage, n'est-ce pas!   :)

No more cherry!  The season is just coming to a close.  We get our share from the state of Washington and every year, it is a much awaited treat. I had problems with the different  tones of red, my cherries are on the  dull side and the paper is just not thirsty any more.  Waiting a few days for the fruits to ripe won't change anything, will it? :)

Sweet! Helen your photo isn't showing up in my blog roll, just your text. the same with leslie saeta's blog. I don't know if it's just my blog roll or not. But I do think it is nice when the photo is there. Or maybe you don't want one. Who knows?

This is bizarre Maggie! I can see my cherries on your blog list, but I don't see Leila's blog at all. Hopefully everything's fine by now!

Helen - I think your cherries are beautiful. Am catching up on all your fruits. This is a great challenge - I think I need something like this to give me inspiration and discipline. As always I so enjoy seeing your wonderful art. Take care friend and have a blessed day.

Tes cérises me semblent lisses, serrées, juteuses, délicieuses. Tu dis qu'elles ne sont pas encore mûres mais je les goûterais volontiers, Helen. Il paraît que les problèmes sont bien finis donné le résultat que je vois!

Gros bisous
