No faces, just pomegranates

My painting teacher had an empty easel for today's class,  so I decided to fill the spot.  We painted a still life of pomegranates.  Great day!  Stopped at the Oceanside Museum of Art on my way home as I wanted to see the exhibit of Francoise Gilot - a French woman who had 2 children by Picasso and was married to Jonas Salk and lived in La Jolla.  She is 90 and still alive - and spends her time in La Jolla, New York and Paris.  She paints mostly abstracts, not a subject I am usually drawn to, but loved the colors and it wasn't so abstract that you couldn't pick out birds or trees or sailboats.  Lovely exhibit.
Here is today's painting:
