Yes, I drew an eggplant. I found a little 5x7 tablet of Stonehenge brand paper while I was cleaning. This type of paper is great for colored pencil drawings, so I thought I'd start one. I think this tiny tablet is good for colored pencil as it makes you work small and then you can actually consider finishing a colored pencil drawing. Otherwise they take 100 years. This one has taken a couple of hours, so far.
Other than this, I don't have much to say this evening, other than the fact that the weather is fabulous. There's a cool breeze flowing through the windows right now. I have been missing cool breezes during this ridiculously warm spring. And I should say that I'm not craving eggplant. I think if I were drawing an avocado, a lemon, an orange, a kiwi, a banana, a pepper, a mango, a pomegranate, some grapes, etc. I would have been craving the subject. While I don't hate eggplant, I can take them or leave them. I do like how they look though.

This is a lovely tiny eggplant. I heart it although I do not heart eggplant to eat I do agree they are quite beautiful and this one is a keeper!
The weather too is beautiful I agree completely.
We must have coffee sometime soon and then maybe you can show me the eggplant in person. I need some motivation to play with PhotoShop again and I have something for you that I just HAD to get for you during a visit to the Bergin Nut Company Outlet Store--which is just down the road from here---I am so happy to have discovered it---I feel so at home in a Nut Store ; )
Well, we all seem to be on the same page about egglant. Every spring I am tempted to plant both a white and a purple one, as I think they are lovely. Then I have to remember that I don't like them that much, and they are work to prepare. I bought some last year at the farmer's market and made a couple of recipies---it wasn't worth it. But lovely, yes. And I do really heart this drawing!
