Fruits of The Spirit

Florida Oranges painted for the Fruits Of The Spirit series

Another painting completed today for the Fruits Of The Spirit series I'm creating. This series has been commissioned by the beautiful Lefler family. Thought it would be fun for our RagTag Ruby fans to help us decide which fruit says which spirit.

So far I have the following fruits painted:

Oranges
Strawberries
Apples
Pears
Blueberries
Lemons
Tomatoes
Pomegranates

We could use your help matching the paintings up with the following fruits of the Spirit:

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self Control

Additionally if you think of any fruits that especially conjure up particular Fruits Of The Spirit let me know! We discussed painting some biblical fruits but dates and figs look too creepy to me. I'm thinking grapes or olives next!

Pomegranates always remind me of the Demeter/Persephone story, where she's supposed to eat the fruit but avoid the seeds. Which is very difficult. So I think that one should go with patience! :o)

strawberries and love go together in my mind because they both remind me of Valentine's Day.

The tomato..so juicy when ripe, can be so easily squished without self-control. This verse reminds me ..
Titus 2:6 Encourage the young men to be self-controlled.

Lemons always remind me of Joy dish soap.
Consider it joy my brothers, when you encounter various trials!

So funny Melissa. I love that idea. I was thinking lemons for patience (because of dealing with the lemons that life gives ya) but you turned that upside down.

I think you should take a stab at a pineapple for two reasons they are yummy and two, they are the sign for hospitality and it would be a good fruit to show kindness,love or peace! Cant wait to see the finished project. The oranges are gorgeous
