An happy Sunday to you all!
The Sun is shining on the sky today here and I can feel the Spring time everywhere around me. As I wrote in my previous content, I'm working on some ideas for artworks inspired by the old botanical illustrations and this morning I woke up with a funny image in my mind.
Did you know the delicious edible fruits of the fig is one of the first plants that were cultivated by humans? Here in my area there are a lot fig tree and my family loves to eat those delicious sweet fruits. The figs can be eaten fresh, dried or in form of a very very good jam (my favorite jam, especially the one with some almonds inside of it, a very special jam!).
Thinking about that plant, I thought to paint a funny fig plants with some "special" fruits on the branch and you can see the final result in the following pics:
A detail:
I paint it just for fun, to enjoy the time after the first cup of coffee of the day and before to start to clean my house. It was fast and it makes me feel good, because while I was painting it I was smiling thinking about the fruits with a face. _
It's an oil painting on 200 gsm paper in A6 size and, like I use to do, I took a couple of pics of te steps of the process to make it:
I hope you like it and I wish you a wonderful Sunday!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
