Horse Chestnut Fruit and Seed Drawing and Painting II

'Horse Chestnut Fruit and Seed Drawing and Painting II' - A4 fine art print.

....so many things about these fruits and seeds make me want to try to draw and paint them....the tremendous sense of three-dimensions....a suggestion of movement in the fruit falling open to reveal the seed....the three distinct segments of the opening fruit....the seed coming away from the flesh it sits in....the distinctive spikes of the fruit....the over ripe skin of the fruit....the contrast in the tone colour and texture of the outside of the fruit and the flesh of the inside and the seed inside the flesh....the deep tone and deep brown of the seed echoed by deep tonal and brown markings on the skin and flesh....
