Both their shapes are so different but they also both lend themselves to decorative art, and that broadens the popularity field, a LOT!

The result is so captivating, and in this instance you've managed it in only 8 x 6 inches! I so enjoy your work. (Thank you, as well, for your lovely praise of my little painting of oranges. As always, you make my day!)Helene Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652560365974237451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-90665297354659983632017-01-12T09:44:38.605-07:002017-01-12T09:44:38.605-07:00Excellent painting Julie!!
