Eat your veggies

By now I'm sure you know the handsome and lovable Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month.  My theme is count your blessings.

I am so blessed to be able to buy any food I want.  That's why I decided to create this journal page that focuses on art depicting fruits and veggies.

I have no idea what this is, but I suspect it could be stuffed olives.  I just liked the image, so I used it.

I think everyone can tell this is watermelon, although the lighting in my dining room is quite harsh.

I fell in love with this painting.  Don't ask why, but I guess because it is so abstract and realistic at the same time.

I was so happy with those root veggies, that's when I chose to name this journal page Eat your veggies,

even though everything else, like this pineapple

and these cherries, were fruit.

Materials for this journal page include two colors of handmade shimmering mists painted on a white substrate, five fruit and veggie images found in a couple of magazines, and use of the Dymo Label Maker to create the sentiment.

Bleubeard and I are thrilled you chose to spend some time with us today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey, too.
