There are times when I don't have very much to say about a painting. How much can I say about this one cute little eggplant? I certainly like the end result. It is actually better than I thought it would be while I was working on it....and....I would truly love to eat it as eggplant parmesan but..... at the moment,,, I am on a weight reducing plan and that would be a no no....

I have been preoccupied trying to figure out how to redo the "Available Paintings" and "Small Available Paintings" pages at my website. They were originally created ridiculously easily in an Apple application called iWeb which is about to become obsolete. In June, these pages won't be able to be accessed. I need to create them again directly from my website which isn't ridiculously easy......And....you thought we artists just paint away all day in a state of bliss....

This painting was inspired by a grove of flowers spotted on my latest astral journey on the west side of  Jupiter on my way to Mars. I wasn't able to paint it on the spot so I created it from memory when I returned to Saratoga Springs....

 I caught these little guys in my garden looking for the Easter Egg Hunt that was widely publicized in my area. They had the wrong day and the wrong address, They were very willing to pose for me....but not before I invited them in for milk,  cookies and funny stories....
