Life is just a bowl of....

Eat Your Broccoli   watercolor   13.25 x 6.5
let's see...we had spools of thread, bok choi, fruit and my own response, broccoli.  In this case I was working on an unusually shaped scrap of paper.  I wanted the darks and lights to play against each other to create drama.  And....I had the green/violet combo in my brain.  The tops of each floret are a kind of bluish-whitish-greenish.  Millions of little pieces.  The goal:  to indicate broccoli without too much detail.

"Eat Your Broccoli" is my response.
