A couple of pomegranates

Somebody showed me a work-in-progress of a pomegranate; I mistakenly commented that her painting of a Christmas ornament was coming along nicely. Whoops!

Well, no harm done, but it got me to thinking I would give pom’s a try. And I’m not entirely sure the back one doesn’t look like a ball.

One of the rules of still life set ups is you should keep things in odd numbers. Since I only had two pom’s I painted two pom’s. I could have broken the rule here or I could say this is one pair of pomegranates!

Either way, rules are not set in cement, so sometimes it’s best to think of them as just guidelines.
