Kohlrabi with Peppers, oils on canvas panel, 9" x 12." $100 unframed.Here's something colorful for the first post of the New Year--this is the still life done in my friends' studio this past Monday when it was so windy. I didn't know what kohlrabi, this strange-looking relative of the homely cabbage, was, but its deep purple color is stunning next to the peppers. The arrangement of the leaves is unusual too. It was fun to set up the veggies on a plate with an old glass bottle and a Provencal-print napkin for a backdrop, and a challenge to paint it.
Happy New Year to all my loyal readers. May 2010 bring you greater prosperity and new adventures in painting!
