Here in Suffolk the spring seems finally to have arrived, and we sat outside with our afternoon tea in the sunshine today, soaking up the warmth.  Drawing has been fun, and I have spent several days on one fruit bowl arrangement, elements of which singly are OK but all together are a bit off. Note to self: concentrate on composition and not just set off blindly hoping that it will all be well in the end – not always the case.  Have kept to 20 basic colours, plus the addition of a stronger red for the last tulip drawing.

98 Oranges

99 Pears

100 Pineapple

101 Man Sitting

102 Pineapple Leaves

103 Tulip Bud

104 Tulip Opening

Here is the complete fruit bowl picture, the dish is ludicrously off and the oranges are floating off the plate, so it is not worth finishing.
