"Cut Pomegranate, Three Arils and Crown"

The loose approach to this subject is a departure from my last two pieces. Wow was this a challenge! I wiped and painted the background several times until the color worked, and those arils ( juicy sacs containing the seeds) were painted until too much paint on the board, scraped and painted some more. My favorite part is the foreground containing the three arils which I painted first and in about ten minutes. That's the way it goes sometimes. For now I'm really really done with pomegranates!

I think I like best how you captured those arils spilling out the top of the pomegranate. This looks simply yummy!
Nice job on this Marilyn. Having painted arils (I just learned what those are called...thanks) I understand how hard they are to paint. Give yourself a big pat on the back!
Great job, Marilyn - I LOVE pomegranates.
