watercolour illustration of a beet root, with violet red leaves that are surrounded by stubs left from harvesting young leaves for salad greens

For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 1
‘Bull’s Blood’ beet, watercolour on hot press paper

I grew a clump of heirloom beets from seed, harvested the beautiful leaves as baby greens for salads, then painted this one at the end of the season, and roasted the roots. Delicious!

You have been blessed by the ghost of Chekov. lol

But seriously, good luck with the writing!

Limited palette oil painting of a mountainside at dawn or dusk, or perhaps stormy weather. Shadows in raw umber and Payne’s grey, suggestion of cascading water from the ridge to the right and general fogginess! Bright light from behind the cloudy sky, reflected off the water. Or something like that!

Have a brilliant weekend everyone 🙂

Why ARE we drinking? Do we have a void that needs to be filled? Is it frivolous? Is it selfish? Is it because life is too damn short?

I am also drinking. Hence the rhetorical question. lol

Why?

Awkward shapes in a sky heavy world, golds and purples.
