Fruity Goodness watercolor 5x3"
Last week we bought some apricots and a week later they were still hard, not ripening and sour :( So two days ago I chopped them up, added pulp from one mango tucked away in the freezer last summer, mixed in pomegranate juice, a bit of sugar, ginger and red pepper flecks. A few minutes in the microwave gave me a bottle full of delicious chutney to be savored for a few days !!!
As the jar sat on the kitchen counter basking in the sunlight, I quickly painted this small watercolor. I used my water brush and the small field paint kit with mostly transparent colors. The glass jar was a bit daunting to capture but I am pleased with both my cooking and painting --a day well spent :)
