I love loquats! They are an odd fruit to most Americans, but they have a mild taste, beautiful seeds, and are borne on bushes or trees with glossy leaves. Over time, I have taken many photos of them and painted or drawn them.
I don’t remember where or when I took this photo, but it really shows the loquat in its full beauty. The fruits are pale yellow to a more deeper orangish color.
This is my most recent rendition of loquats, done in oil on a 12×12 canvas panel.
Above is one done in pen, ink, and watercolors.
And the above is done in gouache.
The round shapes against pointy, glossy leaves is always a pleasure for the eye.
