A painter gets very thirsty, and at times hungry,
a painter will then peel a mandarin
rest it on the painter's box
and paint it.

Big Bunch of Beets or Beetroot as we call them in Australia

I love the color of the stalks, spurting out life force from the
dull beets which struggled under the earth for such a period of time
to produce the most intense and radiant deep magenta / carmine
colors that one could imagine.

There's something human about that garlic!- the paintings of Wendy Van der Drift

Wendy Van der Drift posts a painting a day on her blog "Painting Daily" Her beautiful paintings reference old masters and dutch still life painting.
What I like is that her composition and subject matter is modern and humorous. There's something human about that garlic!

beautiful paintings, i particularly like the last one with the ginger. looks like she's studied the palette of the masters... it's a somewhat lost art these days and i think there's only a handful of painters worldwide that really understand "seeing color" in the old master painter's sense. nice paintings.

There is something so soothing about Wendy's work. Even the Clay work she has posted is calming somehow.
Yup. Yup. Very nice.
Vibrant and juicy also spring to my mind when I see her paintings.
Great thing this internet!
:D
