I esp. like this one, as it is my favorite fruit and I love the way you've captured the lusciousness of this wonderful gift from God.<BR/><BR/>You can just take off the leaves, give it a rinse and slice it up, or just bite into it like an apple. It's a very subtle flavor, reminiscent of dates. BTW, persimmon means "fruit of the gods" in Greek.<BR/><BR/>Where are you in Canada? I'm in north Idaho... just wondering if you're anywhere near Creston, BC, just over the border from us.Diana Moses Botkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254521493118166524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244813655728213135.post-73145299878892813472008-11-17T07:08:00.000-08:002008-11-17T07:08:00.000-08:00Gorgeous paintng.

This one is the fuyu, you can peel and eat it as is or let it ripen and cut it in half and scoop it out. The hachiya type you have to let ripe to the point of squishy softness.<BR/><BR/>But all that aside, I'm enjoying your blog! Nice brushwork, good colors!Connie Kleinjanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078134310874123528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244813655728213135.post-38331008626755265662008-11-14T09:46:00.000-08:002008-11-14T09:46:00.000-08:00Bless you!

This looks like a persimmon. I think you peel it then eat it like an apple. It should be slightly soft. I find they have an unusual taste.<BR/>MelissaMelissa Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734689775379972661noreply@blogger.com
