Medium: Watercolor
Size: 7x13

"Across the street, there is a persimmon tree. Stark black trunk and branches fit right into the tones all around. But the fruit comes bursting through in a bright profusion. Rich, round, and ripe, sun globes of orange. You can almost taste their dew-sweetness with a glance. A physical memory of summer days and searing sun embodied in each persimmon.

Bite, and with that crisp honey melon flavor is the Memory of a tree."

Absolutely beautiful! I love the flowiness of the wings against the stiff tree branches.

Nice image, I enjoy the glowiness of it, and I think the format and border add a nice element as well
Nice work :)

It's very pretty: Quite a lot of blue for you! I like the assymetrical background (if that's the word) and the tree (as always), but I could do without the bragging about the nice weather XD Don't forget, some of us have yet to survive the English Winter!

Your traditional art is one of the best I´ve ever seen. :love:
This is candy for my eyes because of the colour and such beautiful shapes. I really enjoy your fantasy-like work. :clap:

Wonderful composition, I love the off-center frame background! The subtle contrast of the fruit is lovely too.

Beatufiul composition and elongated format. I love how the elf's wings cut across the boundaries of the background.
