Playing With My Food
I suppose some would say I enjoy playing with my food! I love to set up still lifes with all the colors that come out of the garden. As summer is drawing to a close, the garden provides so many objects for me to arrange in still lifes for me to make into art!
Garden Just Outside The Kitchen
Red, yellow, burgundy, large, small, striped, solid. Tomatoes in so many shades of lusciousness! Green, red, yellow, orange bell peppers. Jalepeño, poblano, Anaheim, ancho, habanero, all destined for the picante salsa that comes out of the canner. Another ART!
Farmer’s Market
A feast for the eyes, the farmer’s market fills the gaps. Things that aren’t grown in the garden just outside the kitchen. Surprises. Vegetables I’ve never seen before. Fruits I’ve never heard of.
Chilly Days Ahead
Though autumn is ahead of us, and temperatures are dropping we’ll stay warm with our ART from the garden!
These are beautiful Brenda. I wish watercolor painting would do them justice because they would be fun to paint. Better to eat them though.
I hope you wear gloves when you deal with those habaneros!
Nancy! So nice to hear from ya! Maybe pastels? I *love* working in pastels. If only there were many more hours in the day! I generally use jalapeños (and don’t need gloves for chopping them) when I use hot peppers in cooking – my extent of cooking is making breakfast and scrambled eggs these days. Bill does nearly all the cooking and is the master of the canner and the salsas, and jams, and applesauces, and pickles. He and Kevin seem to try to outdo each other with cooking meals and canning wonderful things!
