O My Papayas


There is a certain light that I love, when a storm is approaching and the sky turns a dark gray, creating a very dramatic background, while the foreground has a yellow-green cast. It's even better when the wind is whipping, like it was on this day. These are the papaya trees that grew from one giant, sweet papaya that I bought a few years ago. Two of my favorite things: papayas and that yellow-green light against gray skies.

  3. I know exactly what you are talking about in regards to the color of the sky! I love that as well. Lovely painting! I don't paint realism..but if I did- I would also zero in on such themes!
    Great job! Bravo
