strange persimmon 7x5.5
My friend Pollyanna put this very strange persimmon in my mailbox at school. I'm not sure if this type of thing is common among persimmons or not. It's certainly the oddest looking fruit I've ever seen. Sold

Wow! Those colors really pop! Yep, it's a weird one all right. I love my persimmon tree. It gives me about a dozen fruits every year, which is just right. I hadn't seen one as bizarre as that before. What a creative tree.
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach high school art in Placer County California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. I took a break from that strict schedule for a couple of years but since the beginning of 2014 I have been completing one small painting on a daily basis. The practice of completing a painting a day suits my disposition and aesthetic. I have also found that modeling this sort of daily practice for my students is important. I am making these paintings available on ebay. Thanks for stopping by and check back often if you like what you see.

Oh my...how gorgeous...
Looks like you might have painted a Pacific Northwest tree octopus.
It's orange, it has tentacles, and I don't want to eat it!
The strange shape of the fruit is a glaring sign of global warming! What else could explain this strange example of fruition?
Dave asked "What else could explain...?"
Ionospheric heating from H.A.A.R.P. could cause that.
