Avocado

This is the avocado I bought to paint last week. I'd never bought an avocado before, well I suppose I must have had it in things in the past, but I didn't know what to expect. It was more brown by the time I cut it open and the inside was soft smooth and buttery. Not a lot of taste on it's own so I opened a tin of Sardines and ate the sardines along with the avocado contents cut into slices. This combination was quite nice. Apparently some people eat them with Soy sauce and they seem to be nice with something a bit salty. I might buy one again I dare say there are various ways of eating an Avocado.

This painting is 4ins x 6ins and is painted oil on board.
