Medlars and grapes
I’m delighted to tell you that I’ve been shortlisted for The Artists of the Year awards 2015 run by Artist and Illustrator magazine. Among the awards is a readers’ choice and I’d be chuffed pink if you could see your way clear to voting for me here . The shortlisters’ works will be on display at the Mall Galleries in February but more on that later.
It’s all very exciting but I got back on my perch long enough to paint these medlars from a friend’s garden. I’d never seen one before, despite being fairly well-travelled. No idea what to do with them but not sure these are an edible variety anyway. Cute though.

Nice colours !
The medlars have to be practically rotten before they are palatable ( yuk ! ) but you could use them for jellies or better still,
home made wine ! They look a bit medieval !
