@blanchy's Post of the Week #2 . Photo of a Mango Fruit Painting

Source
Hello and welcome to the latest edition of blanchy's post of the week where I curate a post I thinkl deserves more coverage. I only curate the special posts here at chez Hive account@blanchy's curation corner and I like to focus on the people that don't get much traction. Last week we kicked things off with a post about a bloke cleaning his toilet. It was more of a step by step guide than anything else but it was beautifully written and I have to say. I learnt a thing or two in the process. You can find that post here . Now everyone in Africa is looking to go on a date with the toilet king.
This week however, I found another gem. Hive account@blanchy whisks you out of the world of toilet cleaning curation and into the world of fruit colouring in. And before you say it I have already given Hive account@nana-hive 1 HBI for showcasing her post on blanchy's curation corner.

Hive account@nana-hive who has recently got out of photographing plants and got into "painting" is on fire this week with not 1 but 2 posts of the Mango Fruit.

Hive account@nana-hive I do love a nice mango but my nanny never gave me one because we had only apples in ireland when I was growing up. Mangos were considered too exotic and we were afraid of any voodoo fruit like bananas , kiwis or mangos until we finally got rid of the Catholic church but enough about my mango journey. This post is for your mango journey. You like mangos so much that you decided to paint one. I must admit it is pretty good.

Exceptional and to the point. Nana does not beat around the mango bush. Full marks so far. The green and the yellow colours complement each other beautifully and Nana must have a really steady hand to paint the outline of the mango. Now first of all i thought nana wasn't happy with the pesky outside the lines with the yellow on 3 different occasions so she threw it away and redid it.

Hive account@nana-hive makes sure above that she lets people know to this type of painting takes a special kind of expertises by saying
"Not anyone has the ability to paint."
Nana shows great confidence here. No bullshit. I'm sure a few pretenders tried to colour in better than her and they got a clip around the ear and rightly so!!! You tell m nana. Don't go messing around in Nana's bin-nes.

Nana also mentions that "while I was looking at the mangoes I just took photos of some of the mango paintings of all the Hive friend. But aren't they not the same picture but at different angles ya divil you.😂

Now Hive account@nana-hive , as Mr Muscle learned cleaning his bog last week Hive account@blanchy does give marks against posts due to errors and I have to say that you were outside the lines on your painting(s) with the mango. One at the stem, the other 1/4 of the way down and the last one near the bottom so I have to take marks off this masterpiece this week so I will not be contacting accelerator unfortunately to give you an 100% upvote. I do apologies but rules are rules.
But what caught my eye were the last two photos and how you flipped the image using some sort of mirror filter. Bravo my friend brave. This must symbolise that the mango is indeed a versatile fruit that can be used in any sort of cooking from Indian to African to French salads.

Now wait this is not all. In a move only done before by Banksy while I was drafting up this post . Hive account@nana-hive published a new post. This one is entitled "Photo of a painting of a mango fruit" I never knew this would happen to me. I feel so lucky. Two for the price of 1.

I love the way nana switches the word painting in the title to tell the reader it's a different post entirely. I could see from the new post that nana reached out for the yellow marker again and started going over the whites. Now to the naked eye one may think it is a different mango but Hive account@blanchy always has a jewelers eyepiece to hand in case this sort of thing arises and I can confirm it is the original mango painting but coloured in a bit more. MIND BLOWN. STOP THE COUNT STOP THE COUNT.
It is clear that nana wants to use contrasting styles in both posts. The first post was a mango half baked. She used more angles in the new post to signify change in her life and posted not 4 , not 5 , not 6 but 10 photos of the mango at different angles. I am proud to say that I have now seen a picture of mango at 16 different angles. This new post knocked me for six and I thought I had died and gone to heaven with a more coloured in mango.
I knew nana was cooking something when she dropped the MS bomb 2 days ago. In case the hive reader is not aware because you are all pig ignorant, the MS bomb in Mango circles is a Mangosteen.

And for the rest of you philistines that still don't know what a Mangosteen is , here it is again but sideways.

Now you may think the mango steen is a better photo , because there is no colouring outside the lines. My 3 year old child for example liked the mangosteen more but if it was called Hive account@blanchy's 3 year old son's curation corner then he could pick it but he can't. The mango is where the money is.
She did a squirrel painting last week. But nana must have been on the Irish whiskey because the poor squirrels chest was brown as well.

but the squirrel at different angles looked in distress especially the horizontal angle. It looked more like a dying squirrel who had collected her last nut in the woods.

So my decision was my decision. The squirrel was nowhere near perfection where as the mango posts deserve it. The post of the week had to be the mango.

If any of you see a contender for post of the week drop it in the comments so these posts don't go unrewarded. And that is it for Hive account@blanchy's post of the week. Let's finish up here before things go pear shaped.
