Easter Radishes


Not entirely happy with this (happier than with the previous attempt!), but I'm posting it to show that I'm actually working on things! After the detail of the green vase, I wanted to try something a little looser, so I gave these radishes a try in pastel. Not sure why they're called Easter radishes, but that's what they were labeled at the store. I tried these previously on Wallis sanded paper and the red radishes ended up looking candied, so I put these on Strathmore Mi-Tinte paper--surely did dull them down! I'm pleased...not sure what it is, but this one just doesn't make me smile as I usually do when really pleased with a work...8x10.

  2. Just like Susan Roux, I can't see what you don't like about these radishes. They are very nice and I especially love the left-hand side of your background.

  3. Hmmm..I left a previous comment but it doesn't seem to be here. I've re-worded my radish blurb so it sounds a little more positive. I don't know exactly what it is, but this one just doesn't make my heart jump and say, "Yes!" Thanks for commenting!
