The challenge for March is Yellow.
By Milo Smith I searched around for fruits at home and at the grocery store. I took six images and realized three of them are fruit we usually think of as vegetables.
Some tomatoes ripening in our kitchen. Often erroneously thought of as a vegetable.

Some packaged sweet peppers at YIG. Again, often thought of as vegetables.

Bananas at YIG. Double branded as Dole and Disney!

A watermelon out of season.

A very ripe avocado. I took this in direct sunlight to get the best colour and to set it off with a shadow.

Finally, some citrus in a bowl.

By Yvonne Callaway A traditional topic for still life, fruit is generally presented as something desirable – ripe and delicious. Unless you’re a glass-half-empty type?

Fruit can also be a jumping off spot for manipulating history. Or imaginations.

Occasionally, one follows traditions and paints from life. However I had the devil of a time capturing this pineapple in my studio over many days, until flies swarmed! In my mind this work has always been The Damn Pineapple!

By Susan Irving I had not done anything specifically for this challenge but I found this in one of my old sketchbooks. My impression of Carmen Miranda.

Media includes this thick multicolour pencil – or what is left of it!

By Kerry Herwynen McIntosh My submission for the challenge this time is called 3 apples. At least, for now.
I reworked a print I did at a Golden workshop. At the time I was attempting, and failing, to emulate Paul Klee. Unfortunately, the colours don’t show well and I can’t seem to manipulate them adequately.

By Isabelle Utovac Here they are, two paintings and a poem.


Fruit burp
sweet tangy crisp fancy
juicy tutti frutti
You sit there
apple orange banana pear
I pick you up
I cruncy I slurp I munch
I burp
and then I end, it’s rather abrupt,
By Tina Whitman Photo with the help of Clip2Comic. It’s fun to fool around with that app and, of course, Kevin.

It’s fun to go through this month’s challenge, but I don’t see that the painting of the apple is an image of “a glass half empty” type so much as a “I left the best to the last” type. But then I’m the type who eats the apple right down to the endocarp.

Not sure we can say endocarp, Ruth: this is a family site!

I had to do a bit of research on google to find just the word I wanted. It’s that hard little shell around the apple seeds. Ruth
