The second work in my Ripe series. Here the papaya lies full length across the canvas.

The mood is warm and quiet, a tropical fruit study with the weight of harvest time. Suitable for a dining room, kitchen, or reading corner, it sits naturally beside other Philippine art and Visayan fruit still life in a collection built around everyday provincial subjects. Ripe #2 is acrylic on canvas, 12 x 9 inches, painted in 2026. It's signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It is offered unframed so the buyer can choose a frame to suit the room.
