Large Plein Air painting: "Firecracker Pomegranate" by Lynne Cunningham


"Firecracker Pomegranate", oil on canvas, 

20" x 30", available

Large plein air painting completed July 6, 2012

$1200.

 please contact through email if interested in purchase  email me 

I painted over successive evenings en plein air and posted the progress on my blog  .  It was a good painting challenge for myself and I finally got to painting the pomegranate shrub (tree!) that blooms with the incredibly beautiful vermillion-colored blossoms in early summer . . . everyone seems to have a story of eating pomegranates as a kid, their grandmother's tree or the different colored fruit they found at the farmer's market.  

They're beautiful when in bloom and in fruit.  Like pears, artists love to paint pomegranates . . .I know I do!

Painting out (en plein air) on location in the fall:   in one week in my area around Davis, CA we were painting in T-shirts in 80 degree weather; the next week we were painting in the high 30's / low 40's with frost lingering on the ground.  Time flees . . . fall is a beautiful season.

It's still spring in northern California!  The cool weather is lingering, the trees in the orchards are still in bloom here and there.  Summer is coming but at the moment, spring is hanging on.  I painted this last spring en plein air in a local little orchard;  a sweet place.

Roses in natural light, arranged in a simple vase; this painting is from a garden event from May, 2010 here in Davis, California.  During the event visitors tour spectacular gardens;  artists set up and paint in the gardens and an exhibit of the paintings is on display later on.   I sold one painting from this event and this painting is available.

Each spring brings a revisit of evocative memories . . . 
My roses are just now coming into full bloom and the sight of them reminded me of the painting.
