Pastel Lemon and Fruit

New Hunt and new items.  "Lemon or fruit" was on the list.  We rarely have fruit all together so thought I'd throw them in the colander.


 For Scavenger Hunt from Life 145 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-145-jan-14-jan-22.7632/

I sketched in my studio at the easel.  I wiped off the Christmas cactus sketch and quickly worked on this one.

Number 1, lemon or fruit - a pink Texas Grapefruit (so sweet and yummy), lime, lemon, grapes, red pear and small apple.  In the metal colander which isn't actually lopsided.  About an hour or so spent on this.  Pastels are lots of fun.  I can correct the ellipse on the rim fairly easily.  Maybe I will do that.  You know me, though I don't like "do overs".   It would be a good lesson wouldn't it?

And the set up.

Joan, you made me laugh. I worked on it a while tonight but I had put the stuff away and so didn't get it to my liking. Maybe tomorrow....Thanks.
