Sacred Pomegranate

The pomegranate has been held as sacred by many religions since ancient times. It represents fertility and marriage, birth and eternal life... and, it's revered for it's healing medicinal qualities. It seemed a fitting image for this cause.

When I saw this in the email the composition blasted off the page at me. I love how it's not JUST a pomegranate but the whole painting is beautifully constructed. I love the yellowish background area and the edges on the foliage is fabulous!
Home run!
