Description
Remember the 'King of Fruits - Durian' [link] that I posted before?Here's come the 'Queen of Fruits' - Mangosteen.
The Mangosteen is hailed as the Queen of Fruits and is a seasonal fruit with the main season normally in June to August. The ripe mangosteen is dark red and tastes best if harvested before turning purple or blue-black.
BTW, while the durian is seen as " heaty" for the body, the mangosteen is "cooling".

I remember the durian. I had mistaken it for the lychee, but fortunately you corrected me.
And now to say hello to the mangosteen, she certainly is a little beauty.
Your water colour yet again caught my eye and very glad I took the time to look at it and appreciate your colours and your wet on wet texturing. Those blues are certainly vivid and compelling.
I hope that after apinting them all, you ripped them all open and devoured them single handedly.
Thanks for sharing this lovely work.

Damn I don't know there is queen of fruit! I only know about the King but for the Queen, I haven't heard about that. I asked my mom and she knew it. I thought it tasted strange and not good because when I was small I tried once. But my mom said it was sweet, and so perhaps I gonna try again, hehe. But I never wanna try the King, it's disgusting to me!
Very nice painting, the shading and colors are wonderfully done!

'Queen of Fruits', eh? I don't know what thinks that it gets the right to be called that ... but, heh, who am I to judge a fruit by its name? I've never had the joy of tasting it so I will not jump to any conclusion.
Sweet, sweet work yet again. Colors and style is three the roof.

Would u believe me if I told u that I've never tasted a single mangosteen in my life, even though it looks so cute. Exquisite drawing nonetheless, simply impeccable.
