I inwardly groaned. I can barely paint a lemon. "Bananas are HAAARD", I whined.
"Come on Mom, I've been wanting to paint bananas." I had just been to HEB, and there was a beautiful bunch of pale yellow, perfect bananas sitting on my kitchen island.
"All right", I sighed. So I put the bananas into my canvas art supply bag, and off my daughter and I went to our art class. When we took them out to put on the set up table, they had broken out with brown speckles during the ride!
Our instructor was puzzled at why we had brought brown bananas to paint. We were laughing and trying to assure him that they were beautiful when we left the house.
So we painted them without the spots. I guess that's artistic license.

I love artistic license. I wonder if my husband would like a painting of brown bananas. He prefers eating them that way. I like your bananas.
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by. I put brown bananas into banana bread-can't just eat them that way.
ReplyDeleteGood job Virginia. I think bananas are hard to paint. Actually, anything yellow trips me up.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more...bananas are very hard to paint! I've only done it once and am not eager to try again. You've done a great job on these beauties!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I think yellows are hard because they are more transparent. It's difficult to paint over another color.
ReplyDeleteGwen, your paintings are all so lovely. I think you could easily paint bananas!
ReplyDeleteNice job on the bananas! I find them incredibly difficult...I agree with Stephanie...anything yellow is Hard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouragement, Linda.
ReplyDeleteBananas are a challenge, but the first step is always that...just taking the step. Which you did.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Pam. I was surprised that I thought it actually turned out better than I had anticipated.
