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"...
This is another large piece I was working on for one of the upcoming shows. I think I'm ready now, which is good since I only have 2 days left :)
Also it's been raining a lot lately (well, a lot by California standards), and this morning I found a giant earthworm in my kitchen, how did it even get there?!
This painting reminds me of rainy days. Kind of like the one we had here yesterday. Waking up to rain is one of my favorite things, much better than the clouds we usually have that don't do anything.
I really like how this painting turned out. Zach said it was like he was "on a roller coaster" ....I don't know why that is, but his responses are getting more creative :)
This one is definitely my favorite of the recent pear paintings. I spent yesterday putting the finishing touches on a much larger panel. I'm very excited for my medium sized panels to get here, I'm a little tired of the larger sizes. I was also working on my book jacket cover that I'm donating for an upcoming fundraiser here. So far it's turned out much better than I expected! I'll post pictures...
