I love Katy’s citruses on toned paper. So elegant and beautifully executed! Her ASBA award is well-earned.

And now with peel and segments.

I definitely need to add an element on the bottom to balance out this page. Even so, I might start over on this one.

I’m struggling to get a faithful scan/correct in photoshop. In any case, this is a gift for a friend who sent me this persimmon that she grew in her yard. Out of context, I can see that it might be confused for a tomato.
