We travelled to Turkey and got the tram to the steps leading to the Galata Tower in Istanbul. Wandering back down the cobbled streets with cafes and small shops, there were lots of fruit stalls offering freshly squeezed fruit juice including pomegranate juice, all offering various advantages for your health. The pomegranates and oranges stood out on a particular stall with slices cut off the surface of the fruit to reveal the inside juicy pearls of pomegranate seeds and succulent orange sections. When we returned we planted a pomegranate tree at home. I created a coloured pencil drawing but just recently made an art work using gouache on paper. The warm colours of orange, vermillion, light red and pink attracted me.
