Framed Watermelon Art

Darlene McElroy was able to capture those hot summers in her framed watermelon painting “Juicy”. The piece features two ladies sitting at a shady table, a watermelon between them and the distinct pattern of the watermelon skin around them with segments of the fruit in the foreground, including a half eaten piece. Kate McCrostie also captured the hot summer days in her piece “Shrimp Fest”, a still life that features a big bowl of shrimp, a blue glass bottle and a big red juicy segment of watermelon.

Other framed watermelon still life include “Still Life with Melons and Peaches” by Edouard Manet. Here the artist has the fruit laid out of a table with both black and white cloth, forming a great contrast of a neutral background and vibrant subject. For those that prefer something more simple Johann Wilhelm Weinmann created two botanical prints “Antique Melons I” and “Antique Melons II” that have detailed depictions of the fruit laid out on a white background.
