The painting went quickly today. This was a fun little section I particularly liked. The root strings, the depth, the green on green on green. Just fun stuff.
Beans and Carrots
When I was teaching school my students were invited to share one of their projects on a local TV program. As my students and I sat waiting for the camera to roll, the host told us to look at each other and repeat "peas and carrots, peas and carrots" over and over again while we laughed and acted "natural". He said that saying these words would make us look like we were really talking without having to force or fake a conversation. Today, however, my guests are beans and carrots instead. Does this make them look less natural?
County Fair Basket Sketch
This is the second of three paintings I am starting. When we went to the County Fair last month his beautiful basket called out to me. I think this one will be a very relaxing and enjoyable one, for those days when my time and energy are being pulled in other directions.
