Painting with Josie

While in the midst of painting autumn leaves

this morning, Josie hopped up to supervise

and meditate.

We grew some vegetables in containers on our deck

and these are our own eggplants saved from the frost.

I find them so beautiful that I am painting some of

them which makes it difficult to actually cook with them!
I've been enjoying painting from life what we have grown…
the tomatoes, Asian pears, squash, apples, peppers,
  eggplants and leaves so far.
