ArtistFull screen, sharp-focus, macro-view watercolor of a bunch of five golden beets with greens, tied together with rough hemp packaging string, lying a wooden cutting board on a kitchen counter, waiting to be cleaned and prepared. One beet is split to show the glowing, golden-yellow inside, with the close-up showing the concentric rings of lighter and deeper yellow. The greens of the beets are crinkled and present in various chades of green, the stems are a light yellow-green. The roots of the beets still have some dry soil clinging to them. Behind the beets, we see the suggestion of a red-and-white checkered tea towel hanging over the kitchen sink faucet. We se no other kitchen utensils. The culinary still life shows fresh ingredients ready to be prepared and cooked. The tableau is deftly and painstakingly rendered in quick, wet-on-wet watercolor, the burgundy-colored background is blurry and spotty. Prize-winning biology illustration in the style of Simonetta Occhipinti Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Jakob Demus, Hildegard Könighofer and Margareta Pertl as well as Siobhan Larkin. Museum-quality aquarelle sketch on heavy handmade rag paper.
