504 Thoughtful Gift

These persimmons were given to me as a gift from a friend after I mentioned that I have never painted persimmons from life.  They are such a beautiful fruit and I think look very much at home in my blue and white Jean Wells bowl.

It felt so good to paint again today after a week off, not by choice, but because there aren't enough hours in the day.  I am feeling very grateful and humble at the response to my 500th Painting open house celebration last week.  It was particularly rewarding for me to have Jean Wells visit and approve of my paintings of her beautiful bowls.
