The World Watercolor Group prompt for today is fruits.  My first thought was “apples and bananas?” but we have the monthly theme of “Let’s Go on a Nature Hike” and I don’t usually see these fruits on nature hikes, unless I have brought them with me.  So, what kinds of fruits would I see?  And what could I get so that I would have an example of what to paint?

Rose Hips

Rose Hips!  So I went out to the rose bush and found these, dried out and frost bitten, but still recognizable as fruits I might find on a hike.
