What’s could be better than triangular fruit on a square
plate! I just love the way light sneaks
through watermelon unlike other subjects – it’s not translucent nor opaque but
some mysterious place in between. How lovely
to have such variety in life. This was both
fun and frustrating to paint. I hope to
do more in the future.

One of my fondest childhood memories was the “watermelon
dress.” Growing up with a brother and
three sisters – there were a lot of hand-me-downs (clothes, toys, furniture,
etc.). That has to be an ancient term. I wonder what it is called now. Gently-used-pre-re-cycle-wear
or something like that. Ha, ha. At any
rate, it was a great dress – starchy white and dark green with big bold, appliqué
watermelon slices on it. All the girls
got to wear it and you can see it was a favorite when you look through any family
photo album. Funny how some things just
stick with you for a lifetime. I cannot
think about watermelon without thinking about the dress and I bet my three
sisters are the same! Normal people probably
just think watermelon means it is finally summertime!
Enjoy, life is joy we make one moment at a time.
