Eggplant Bouquet
(18" x 18", oil on canvas)

White eggplants are the perfect study in contrasts; ultra smooth satin skin and gnarly stems complete with tiny (and painful) thorns. The skins seem to both absorb and reflect light; at times they even appear be lit from within. This is not the first time I've painted white eggplants, but it is the first painting not to end up in the garbage pile proving the old adage "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again".
