" The Persimmon Tree, Revisited "
Digital
I created this digital greeting card from
an acrylic-gouache painting of mine from 1996.
It’s Wendy’s birthday,
the little October girl
with indigo eyes...

"The Persimmon Tree"
Gouache on canvas paper
37 cm x 45 cm
Persimmon are called "kaki" here in Japan....
The trees are everywhere; I painted this in October,
when the fruit just starts to become bright orange, and ripe...
It's in supermarkets now; it has a subtle flavor, not overpoweringly sweet or tangy.
To me they are a symbol of Autumn in Japan.
In November, the leaves get as orange as the fruit,
then drop off, while some fruit still clings to the branches...
A poignant site, with a dusting of the first snow...
Till next time... 'Mela
