Persimmons {a daily painting}


Wild Persimmons – 5" x 7" (12.7 x 17.8 cm) – Oil on Linen Panel
Available in my Etsy shop

While out on a walk I passed by an old persimmon tree that was quite wild. Instead of having large opaque skinned fruit like found in the grocery store the fruit was small and berry-like with translucent skin and chalky-white areas of the natural yeast that will be found on some fruit.

As I have been gathering items when out on walks, I brought a branch home and completed this painting.

That is super cool! The painting and the fact of them. I've never seen any persimmons other than at the grocery store.

Yes these persimmons are interesting but awful to eat, super, super bitter :)
