Beet Greens

5"x7" oil on gessoed masonite

I'm down in Easton, MD this weekend to attend a workshop taught by painter Tracey Frugoli. We spent this day in discussion and demo - actually VERY helpful for me! Tomorrow we paint all day & she's available to instruct us.

This morning before we began, I went to town early and went through the farmers market- there was some beautiful produce! I could NOT resist these beet greens with their gorgeous red stems and veins! OOHHH - love this color. So when I got back to my hotel room this evening, I just had to set them up on the desk here in the room & paint them! Well, the photography is under a rather warm desk light- I'll need to get another photograph under some good daylight- for a better view! But you get the idea! Have paint-box, will travel AND PAINT!! It's fun being able to take this laptop with me and share paintings done away from home!
