[Painting vegetables started as a joke with my sister regarding a new year's resolution to eat healthy in 2010.  We discussed me having the attitude of "if I wouldn't paint it, I shouldn't eat it".  So I begin the series with a plate of radishes and then move on to a cutting board with fresh beets.  I enjoyed painting veggie's so much that I moved on to fruit and painted a still-life with a jug that belonged to a great-grandmother.]
