Persimmons with Blue Enamelware Jug

 

The persimmons were not exactly cheap, and although I thought this painting could have worked with fewer pieces of fruit, I didn't want to be persimmonious.

Portrait of Bearded Man with Brown Cloak

 

Our model Paul wore a long-flowing, brown garment which might be referred to as a cloak, or possibly a robe or a cape; I can't say for shawl.

Quinces with Enamelware Coffee Pot

 

Some of the quinces depicted here are the same as appeared in my last painting of quinces; or for the potted version, one might simply say "quince and repeat".
