Watermelons are a July treat! Red is a July color. "Disappearing Act" is third in my watermelon series, another 4x4 mini-painting and looks great displayed singularly or in a grouping with the other melon paintings, oil on cradled wood board.

Watermelon is traditional fare for Independence Day celebrations in Texas. The sweet, juicy red meat of Texas watermelons can not be beat. I used a palette knife (no brushwork) to paint the watermelon on a cradled wood board. I do love that surface for knife work especially. Colors used include cad red medium, alizarin crimson, cad yellow light, viridian green, raw umber and a little ultramarine blue. Oh, and Titanium white. View purchase information on my blog at TXsauce.blogspot.com.
