My zucchs are outta control as are my tomatoes. And the pumpkins haven't started to ripen yet! Ooooooooooooh, looks like a bumper crop of still life paintings on my horizon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-91764472107077802312008-09-09T08:24:00.000-02:302008-09-09T08:24:00.000-02:30Oh I know that feeling Stacy.

I grow or buy fruits or vegetables just to draw or paint them - the eating part is just an afterthought! :)<BR/><BR/>The Purple Haze ones are coming along nicely in the garden and I'll take some photos of all these unique veggies to inspire me during the winter.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-83261441439205975682008-09-08T23:12:00.000-02:302008-09-08T23:12:00.000-02:30Jeanette, I buy purple beans at our local farmers'...Jeanette, I buy purple beans at our local farmers' market. My family loves them roasted. The girls have taken to calling them "magic" purple beans since they change to green when cooked. I froze some this weekend too, but, shame on me, didn't take the time to sketch any.<BR/><BR/>However, I do have a watercolor of the Purple Haze carrots in progress. I plopped them down and started painting them from life the day we bought them. Unfortunately dinner time arrived before I got the leafy part painted, so it is waiting patiently to be finished. I love colorful veggies but am always torn between painting them and eating them. :DStacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494806312648513169noreply@blogger.com
