"Passion Fruit"

Copyright 2008 Turtel Onli, oils on panel, 18"X24" is a recent Rhythmistic oil painting in this growing collection that bears the same name. The intimate open air and breezy mood here sets the tone for the idea of the watermelon as icon and transitional object. The abstracted design elements along with the naturalistic expressive treatment is combined to achieve a variety of potentials. Did you know that farmers have bred a yellow watermelon?
