Native Fruits Dream
19″ x 25″ pastel on paper
My Illustration Friday entry for this week’s theme nourishment.
I posted already a previous sketch of the still life. So aside from nourishment as food to eat, these native fruits are nourishment also to the culture I’m originally from. By not being able to eat these fruits, in a way, is a craving too of missing out on the whole Philippine culture.
such a luscious-looking piece…what kinds of fruits are they? is it because they’re not available for sale where you currently live?
OOOH!!! I miss all those fruits too! Atis! Is that Santol?? And those pink ones… I can’t remember their name! And green mangos… with bago’ong! Mmmms… salivating. Beautiful!
I like the nice soft effect that you have achieved with this drawing. It gives the fruit a mouth watering appeal.
The colors are beautiful!
The contrast in that drawing is simply awe-inspiring, Dennis.
