My blogger buddy, Gary Everest, sent some photos to me for reference after I painted one of his breakfast papayas. So I have a few more photos of these beautiful fruits now. And here is my first take on one - I changed the color of the bowl and juiced up the background a la Carol Carter :)
Not finished as the center needs a bit more ooph and the spoon needs to be painted.
Hope you like it so far, Gary!
And thanks for the photos :)

Good Morning Rhonda,
Like it? How 'bout love it! :) It's almost as good as waking up to the real thing!
I could go on and on, but it really is morning here and I have an appointment with the real deal.
Great job, Rhonda. It looks good enough to eat!!
Have a nice evening.
Sincerely,
Gary.
Gorgeous colors, so love the orange and the way you did your purple plate! Love,Diana
You are really mastering the ability to paint loose, Rhonda. This looks like an awesome start!
Thanks so much, Sharon, Debbie, Vandy and Lisa!!
Gary, so happy you are happy with this one - look for an email from me about these.
Thanks, Diana and Sherry (Sherry, every time I put brush to paper, it's a learning experience and I'm always learning something!)
Wonderfully vibrant! Love your choice of colors.

Thanks, Pam and humbird :) I have had Mineral Violet for a while and never really used it - so went crazy!
This is so juicy and gorgeous. I love your colors.
Hi Rhonda, I don't know if my comment went through. I can't read the moderation words and numbers.
GRRRRRR!
I said I really like your painting. I love the juicy colors.
It came through just fine, Carol, and thanks :) Sorry, I didn't get it accepted right away (been out looking at artwork and having a nice lunch, plus walking in a state park for a while - a nice day!).
Beautiful watercolor Rhonda, the colors are especially nice.
Thanks so much, Caroline. I was going for lush, pure colors.
