Artwork-Zebra Zensations Technical Pen and QoR watercolor on a Hahnemühle Cold Pressed Watercolor Postcard. Brushes: Jack Richeson Richeson Grey Matters Synthetic Watercolor Flat 1/4 Photo courtesy of Schmid-Reportagen on Pixabay.
My hubby took a bunch of bananas in his lunchbag. You may have noticed that some of my postcards for the lunch bag, lately, have been of something other than animals. Hubby prefers animals but I feel I’m going stale because sometimes I only have time to paint his card and I want to paint other things. So we compromised. I’ll still be doing mostly animals, but the odd item like this will pop up on occasion.
Did you know that the banana plant is not a tree, but rather a type of herb. In fact, they are the largest of herbaceous flowering plants. Their ‘trunk’ is called a “false stem” or pseudostem.
And does anyone else remember the song?
Doodlewash prompt ‘bananas’.

Wonderful!!! And, yes, I do remember the song. 🙂
Thank you Mary! And you know what? The song I’ve been hearing in my head is ‘Loving You Has Made Me Bananas’ instead of ‘Yes, I have no bananas’. I think my memory has gone bananas!
Nice bananas there, Sandra! I was at the Asian market today and saw purple banana flowers. Thought of you!
Thank you (Kathy, I think?)!
Beautiful, tropical colors….I suddenly feel like a banana split…or fritters!
Mmmm! Either one sound delish!
I really appreciate the science lessons that accompany your art. The gorgeous magenta leaves compliment the bananas perfectly.
Thank you! I love searching for odd bits of trivia. It’s such a marvelous world we live in!
