Tropical Dreams |
Here is my first acrylic painting. It was actually a kit, so all I had to do was follow the directions like a paint-by-number. It was a great study of light and shadows, though, and taught me a lot about acrylics. Here is a poem I wrote about the picture later on:
The sun shines warm on glowing fruit,Even the shadows echo the light
From pineapple fronds and curly scales
That vividly shimmer yellow-white.
While, hidden in shadow, the tropical hues
Of papaya and kiwi are vibrant with green;
The mango and kumquats, golden and orange,
Finish off this radiant scene.

Another mouth-watering post!:)
The artwork and the poem are very nice.
Lovely adjectives.
Nice shading! Which fruit is the kumquat?
The small yellow fruits in front are kumquats; I'd never heard of them either before doing this painting!
