Dyptich....not dip stick

Here's a couple of paintings that I meant to blog a long time ago too. These I did not offer up for sale last year. It is hard, now that I am seeing my photos on the screen, to give you the impression of what they really look like. They are very textured, bright, juicy looking grapefruit. They are meant to be hung together (a dyptich). It was done for an interior/exterior project. I took a real grapefruit, cut it in half and started painting it....literally, at one point I was painting the actual grapefruit. My grapefruit kept me company for the rest of the semester in suprisingly non-smelly or moldy condition.
I just finished another painting. Eventually I will get a picture up of it. Maybe in a few months. That's how long it took me here.
