Succulence

Sally Hamilton presents paintings expressing the juicy rich colors of autumn persimmons and rain-plumped succulents found in her garden. As the persimmons ripened, they softened to a red-orange succulence. The succulent plants also became fuller and richer in color with the rain. In our dry environment, these paintings of moist moments in time can make the succulence permanent.
