The Fruitman

Thankyou Everyone! I appreciate your comments.

Hi Pauline, I am so impressed...you are good at everything. Thank you for looking at my calligraphy (I'm still trying to figure out how to do thing here - that's why I'm so slow. I finally decided to concentrate on calligraphy because after college I realized I couldn't really do anything well. You are a regular Renaissance Gal - very cool.

Awesome Pauline...such intricate work! Cheers for you!! Rah Rah! Boom! Boom! : > )

nice neat market with the kind of hues that call me...I am ready for produce Pauline!

You have many wonderful paintings, Pauline ! But this one speaks to me the most. The colors are evocative of a distant place and time; the shopkeeper seems as a person who, though humble, is fiercely proud of his offerings.

Thankyou all for the compliments. I actually painted the Fruitman right after 9/11. I needed to feel something comforting and yes go back to a time in my mind where such terrorifying acts did not happen unless it was by nature. My healing painting. : )

A step back in time that places you right there at the market. Nice work.

I really like the detail in this one Pauline. Very nice colors as well. Reminds me of the old General Stores that used to be around when I was a kid. Loads of fruit, flour and sugar bags everywhere and my favorite part was the candy window.. Our local store used to have two candies for a penny and every Saturday, we'd ride our bikes to the General store and we'd fill up a little bag of candies for 25 cents (our big allowance back then) hehe.. Very nice painting!

Great colors and details, and the feel of a time when pride in one's work was prized

I really like this work Pauline,, so nice and warm and very old worldly. :>) Thanks for stopping by too! :>)

beautiful painting!! you truly captured that old world feel....excellent composition!

wonderful work, love the detail
