9 × 12 chalk pastel on Canson Mi-Teintes paper

The first pomegranates I’ve ever eaten came from these bushes, so I thought I would honor them with a painting.

I really like this one! Love the lacyness of this.
Thanks Bunny, lacyness sounds so much prettier than my term (messiness!)

Great mix of purple/yellow complementary colours. The ‘messy’ style really works.
Thanks Lynda, your comments always cheer me up!
