the AB of vegetables

The plan I had to paint vegetables A to Z has not amounted to much so far. However, a new idea surfaced while I was in HT yesterday morning.
 I was in the same aisle as an fellow who was using one of those motorized carts, and I spied in his basket a bunch of beautiful maroon colored asparagus. Wow! I wanted some for myself! I hightailed it back over to produce and found the awesome Asparagus right next to the Broccolini. Then it hit me. Why not photograph vegetables A to Z instead of painting them?
I am not going to go too fast with the rest of the alphabet, because I must also eat the veggies. Healthier meals are ahead!

The latest

I've been working on this one lately and am close to finished. Since I am not trained in how to paint properly, I just spread paint and experiment. Ignorance is bliss.

did something clever with this one!

today's output

Since a painting sold yesterday, and a few other pieces have sold recently, I thought I needed to get to work to replenish my stock. This is an uncropped, unedited photo of what I did today. I rather like it, and have decided to quit making excuses for preferring to do non-representational art.

Art and Love

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

Art and Flowers

I am posting this photo not for the clear shot/great iPhone image but to get back in the game here.

This evening I went to a pretty cool art event.
It is hard to explain, but it was about flowers imitating art and art imitating flowers. Get it? I didn't either until I saw for myself. This photo is from a demonstration I attended in which the artist was representing the flower arrangement in a pastel painting. It was just one part of an interesting evening.
