Beets, 36”x36”, oil on canvas
.
.
Next up in order of painting for the exhibition is Beets. I really wanted to get to ground level/ worm’s eye level to show how fabulous the light is under the leaves and how phenomenal nature is that these tasty, nutritious, exquisite, versatile vegetables emerge from the earth from a tiny seed!. Every part of a beet can be eaten!! The soil is a world in itself, rich with life and a powerhouse of energy with earthworms and other small creatures working round the clock to enrich it: tilling it, fertilizing it and being part of the machinery that helps grow our food. I even included a weed - even weeds have a place in this world, joining the food cycle to feed beetles, bees and many other creatures that enjoy this underworld.
.
Thanks to @wvartscouncil and @kaymeekcentre for this opportunity to show my work. The exhibition will run until 19 May 2024.

The next spotlight in the ‘Bounty’ series highlights greens, both leaves and the colour green. Firstly, green vegetables are an incredible source of nutrition and should be a dietary staple. Kale is extremely easy to grow and versatile to cook with. There are many types of green leafed edible plants from delicate lettuces to tough and hardy collards. I particularly love observing the construction of leaves because each one is unique. Some leaves have a central vein from which the smaller veins emanate, in some the veins all shoot out from the stem, some have straight edges, some have curly edges. Some leaves grow out of a telescopic stalk like garlic or onions with each new length bearing a new leaf. It’s fascinating. Engineering at its finest. And artistically, there is an unlimited variety of greens across the whole colour spectrum from blue greens of cavelo nero to red lettuce to chartreuse and yellow chards. Food for thought!
.
Thanks to @wvartscouncil and @kaymeekcentre for hosting this exhibition. It’s open until 19 May 2024.
