Persimmon with Flour Sifter

 

I started this painting over a week ago and ran out of time to finish.  As such, I had to replace the persimmon because the original one had ripened to the point that it was persimmona non grata.  The stand-in was a make-sift solution.

P.S. This started life as a quick demo for one of my recent workshops; I found it yesterday and quite liked it, so recreated the scene in order to complete it.
