"Watermelon Still Life"

Look for me on Etsy soon!
Ok, ok, I know -- what do birthdays and watermelon have in common? Well, I LOVE watermelon and instead of birthday cake every year on my birthday, I have a watermelon -- even though it isn't usually the best of melons (my birthday is May 29 -- hint, hint) because they aren't technically "in season" yet!
I did use a photo for this, but I bought a little icebox melon to set in front of me for extra added effect. It was hard to depict how juicy the melon looked. I will have to practice and maybe do some studies of just melon! Of course, that will only work out if I don't get distracted and eat my set up!

I love your art!!! Do you put candles in your birthday watermelon?
Thanks, Anne! No, but what a great idea! I think I am going to have to try that this year!
