Recently my boyfriend, David, and I had my sister, Kathleen, over for dinner. We were inspired to make artichokes from a cooking show that David loves. I was inspired to paint the artichokes, based on their interesting shape and color variation. Thinking myself to be terribly clever I looked at Etsy and found a HUGE number of people who like to paint (and sell) pictures of pears, apples, and artichokes. (Perhaps the Holy Trinity of fruit for still life paintings...)
At some point soon I shall put these three artichokes up on Etsy and perhaps in cyberspace they will meet up with other artichokes and discuss what it was like sitting for a portrait. (Exciting? Dull?)
Tomorrow I am back at work at my sales job but in less than two weeks, I will be taking a week off and flying to Paris (with the aforementioned boyfriend and sister). These next few days will be a flurry of tying loose ends up at work, Parisian research, packing, and stress! Please wish us "Bon Chance"!
How absolutely beautiful this would look in my kitchen with my mustard print....love love love it
