In this painting I was working with several objectives. I tried gessoboard and I have got to give a big hand to anyone that can paint on this. I had quite a time because I am used to the tooth of canvas. It was my intent to paint with grays and produce a white cup. It was challenging. I painted the persimmon one more time. I did find out how to eat this variety. I took out the core and peeded it and sliced the fruit and ate it that way. It was a subtle taste and sweet. It was really good!

Never ate a persimmon, but now think I would like to try.
I like this- you did good. I love the persimmon and the reflection on the nice white cup! I just went to Trader Joe's and they are ordering some persimmons so I can paint them. Can't wait.
I did not like the gessoboard first time I tried it- now, I love it. Give it another chance.
My husband likes the "hard" persimmons... he calls them cache... (ka ke). I think that's what you've got in the painting...
You've done a beautiful job of this.
