Molto suggestivo! Ho una sete…con tutti questi limoni, limes, oranges ad altri agrumi in giro…!
Very interesting your illo and the
Calamansi…
Very nice! And educational! I’ve not heard of this before. Well done.
wow! i like your drawing a lot. so vibrant! i was thinking yesterday about the citrus fruits in my homeland and i can’t think of any-don’t know why….but, boy am i glad you have made an illustration of it. i like calamansi a lot. it is my daily drink back home-i put some sugar and some ice and whew-much better drink than any other softdrinks….
Oh wow - so vivid! Absolutely gorgeous! I love the spider on the side as well. The texture of the mat - really beautiful.
P.S. Hoping I will have time this weekend to play with the incredible images you sent me. You are so awesome.
Nice shot! I’ ll try to make a post with a recipe using the calamanci before leaving the RP. Augh.
Wow…they certainly *Zing*
It sounds really powerful and effective, Massimo, and -of course- your illo is gorgeous :)
