I think this is all I can do with this drawing. I gouged the paper putting in the splitting open “effect”, but I softened the left edge of the purple fig and a kind of reflective highlight. Definitely not a great choice to pick such an uncharacteristic fig. Oh, well, still fun to study and eat!
Thanks, Jill. The colorful fruit was very appealing to me.

I just want to pick that section up and eat it. This looks really nice, Sheila. That combination of green and purple is one of my favorites, and I LOVE the way the skin of the green one is sort of flaking off or bursting open. My only comment here is about the cast shadows…. I feel like they have a nice gradient, but they still somehow have a sharp edge–can you fade the lightest edges out a little more irregularly?
Welcome home Sheila!!!!!! You made great use of your quarantine! You should have an exhibit (when such things are possible again) of your Spanish Quarantine!
Thanks, Vern. I’m so happy to be back. Especially with this weather. I’ll ask you for some help with a digital album. Love that idea. Looking forward to seeing you before too long!

Beautiful Sheila! The fig on the right looks much better since you rounded out it’s left side. The interior view is particularly amazing!!!!
Thanks, Doug. It’s good to hear from you. I hope you’re all well.
These are so beautiful Sheila, lovely composition pulls me right in!
Yes, much better! I like that you use the color of the green eggplant as a reflective light on the purple eggplant. Nice!
Thanks, Maureen!
Glad it improved. Thanks!
This is beautiful! Love the richness of the colors.

Thanks, Vern. Yes, the shadows need fading out and an irregular edge. I saw it after I posted it. Back to the drawing board…:)
Hooray! Well done!
Sam, I love your enthusiasm! I’m a jet lagged zombie at the moment. Got back to the US yesterday.
Welcome home Sheila!!!!!! You made great use of your quarantine! You should have an exhibit (when such things are possible again) of your Spanish Quarantine!
Thanks for the welcome back! Yes, the Spanish quarantine period with Spanish snacks and music! 💃🏻
Welcome Home!!!!! I love this idea of an exhibit of all these–at the very least a digital album where you can view them all together! 🙂
