The Beet Goes On, 6" x 6" oil on panel, © 2013 Nancy Van Blaricom
I don't paint a lot of still life's but I loved how pretty my beets looked in the yellow bowl. After cropping the original photo I put it into Photoshop and pixilated it. I think it might have made it easier for me to see some colors that might not have been as easy for me to see. Always experimenting.
I love beets. I love the way they taste and the way they look. I ❤ beets.
I think even Sonny and Cher like beets ...

the beet goes on, the beet goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain,
La de da de de, la de da de da

That's a very nice painting. I like the composition.
I recently made some beetroot/cauliflower soup: amazing color!
I really like your still life of beets, Nancy! How clever to tie it in with Sonny and Cher... wonderful!
Beautiful reds!!
I like the subtle colours in the beets. They're done well and that gold bowl works beautifully with them.
I love beets too and want to grow some yellow ones this year. Good painting fodder.. ;)
