Tart Ones

"Tart Ones" was painted on Day 14 of the Strada Easel 31 Day Challenge on January 14, 2021.  I loved painting this. Different subject. I'd eaten half of the half of the grapefruit. (Okay, yes a quarter.) Loved the colors. The apple cider vinegar (organic from Trader Joe's) was used on my lunch time salad ... and thus it was a bit of kitchen serendipity. The label fit right in.

I'm a big fan of grapefruit although purchasing it is a rare occurrence and probably the first time it's made it into my house since the pandemic. Double treat! Shows just how thankful and excited we will be every day when these trying times ease.

One of my neat happy early memories of my Mom's Dad is of his helping me pick grapefruit from the tree in their Florida backyard. A series of strokes had made communications almost nonexistent ... but we sure shared that joy. So that's what I think of looking at this.

I had thought that this was the finished version... until after photographing it. That lemon in the background wanted to float and steal the show. Out it went.
