Pears are my favorite fruit, not just to paint, but to eat. A good pear is better than candy, maybe even better than cake. I'm waiting patiently for these two to ripen...

We planted our first square foot garden this weekend. I'm so excited! It's my first garden ever....well except for the radishes I grew when I was 5. Wish us luck :)
We got the monthly newsletter for our complex and it said we can expect tons of trick or treaters here :) finally! Every year I buy candy and every year there's only like 3 kids. And then I end up eating halloween candy for months.
But just in case they're wrong I bought candy that I hate, at least I won't be tempted to eat it then :)
When Lea at the Coastal View News asked me to participate in the Friends of the Library Centennial Fundraiser I had to say yes, after all I did work in a library for about 7 years. They're asking artists to choose a book and create a cover for it. Book illustration is not really my forte, but I considered Wuthering Heights and thought I could make something work. I still have to add the book title...
The original title for this painting was going to be "Butternut and Leek" because that's what I meant to buy. The thing is I had never bought a leek before, I didn't really know what one looked like...so I trusted Albertson's when they told me that this fennel was a leek.
This is how cooking dinner went that night:
"Zach can you google how to chop a leek?" "wait, my leek looks nothing like that"...
