Persimmons 9x12 Watercolor

Persimmons - 9x12 Watercolor

This still-life subject was a good one with lots of color.  Persimmons laying in a cobalt-blue dish; gorgeous....and inspiring!   This is from life; painted alla prima (all in one go).   Most of my watercolors are alla prima - forcing a quick sketch with focus on large shapes, and getting color, value, and temperature right with the first wash....no 'fiddling' with it!  I seldom do still-life paintings so I was very pleased with this one.  It's available! Go to http://www.dailypaintworks.com/ and place your bid. 
P.S.  This is a re-post from December 2010. for the purpose of announcing the availability of the painting.
