Lately I've been intrigued by the wide range of fresh produce at the local Farmers' Market.  Late summer brings so many interesting colors and shapes to paint.  When my eyes fell on these radishes, I actually uttered at little gasp--the beautiful colors of red, purple and pink were begging to be painted.  I got them home and saw the tag:  "Easter Egg Radishes", a varietal previously unknown to me.  They are certainly deserving of the name.  It's a nice challenge to stand before something you have never before seen or noticed--much less painted--and pick up the brush.  Something about being free of any preconceived notion of what the objects look like allows you to see with fresh eyes, and to paint more truly what you see.
