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.
