Cantaloupe on Dragonfly Plate

11x15 watercolor still life of the first cantaloupe melon of the summer season.  After cutting it into slices I set some on a white plate decorated with various insects, then photographed several views for painting.  I like the lacy holes the seeds created for a little abstraction within the design.
