Radishes

13x6 watercolor, an earlier work, of a bunch of fresh radishes inspired by a trip to the local HEB grocery store.  This complementary color scheme of pairing red with green prompted a touch here and there of turquoise and of course white tipped roots.  No masking was used with this painting.

Onions and Garlic

9x12 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper sketched yesterday in under 10 minutes then painted in 45 minutes for this interesting still life. Love to cook with both these vegetables so was a thrill to paint them together.  This was featured on this weekend's drawing event on WetCanvas.

Beets Me!

5.5x8 watercolor and ink on Strathmore Visual Journal for mixed media.  Over the weekend I drew these beets with black Uniball pen then added paint.  I detest beets but thought if I tried to make this root vegetable attractive then might just eat the jar of freshly canned ones my sister-in-law gave us...may taste better than commercially available beets.  They're very nutritious, too.
