Pomelo Painting

I spent one year of lockdown somewhat unexpectedly, over lockdown on the island of Cyprus, in part marooned in part escape. Compared to my native Scotland it was like a desert island oasis. In particular I found the exotic fruit trees hugely inspiring. I would sit and marvel at them in the many walks I took there. Behind the College where I was a resident artist, there was an abandoned olive grove where a pomelo tree grew. I produced a plein air sketch then started on the oil painting. I had an out door easel in a courtyard and eventually worked there much of the year. It could get very hot and after a siesta in a the afternoon I would head to the courtyard to experience the last few hours of the day which had this wonderful saturated light. It made made me think of Van Gogh but it was also a very Middle Eastern light, very much Cyprus.
