"Persimmons" Original Watercolor Painting
Title: Persimmons
Year: 2025
Watercolor on Paper
Size: 8×10 inches, framed to 11×14
Since most of the reference photos I could find online were of the Asian variety of persimmon, I joined the author of “Just One Comfrey”, Emily, at Door Creek Orchard in Wisconsin to photograph their persimmon tree. I snapped some pictures and then was able to try my first persimmon. Although I wasn’t a big fan of the taste (I’ve heard it can be an acquired taste) the beautiful color of the persimmons contrasts so nicely with a bright blue sky. I started this painting during a live demonstration at this year’s Garden Expo in Madison, WI. It was fun to chat to passing attendants about the process and to let them watch my work in action.
This original watercolor painting is featured in the book, “Just One Comfrey”, a Counting book by Wisconsin Food Forests. The book is scheduled to be released July, 2025. It features edible plants that grow well in Wisconsin’s climate. Some are edible for human consumption, while others are edible only for critters and birds that call Wisconsin home.
This original watercolor painting was painting using Daniel Smith watercolors on Arches cold-pressed paper. Using professional supplies means your painting will stay brilliant and colorful for years. It also comes signed, with a Certificate of Authenticity. It is matted and framed. (wooden frame with a linen double mat, glass, with hanging wire for easy hanging).
***Framed pieces will only be available for local pickup. If you need this painting mailed to you, it will come un-framed, but still custom matted. ***
