These will make a delicious and colorful contribution to our dinner tonight.

I was late getting started on this painting and it is almost starting to get dark. It's hard to get used to the sun going down so early; there was just enough light to photograph.  I am pleased with the way this worked out since I wanted to capture the many hues of the beets and the greens.

I am taking a portrait workshop for the next few days and will try to post when I can.

This is the painting from my blog post on May 7, 2011.  I was looking at it the other day and decided that the beets should be darker than they were in order to read like beets, instead of radishes, which is what someone thought they were.  I am happier with this deeper color.

Up-Beet Spring

Up-beet Spring

There is, in my estimation, only one time of the year better than Spring(and that would

be summer).  Where I live, it gets too hot to enjoy gardening after about June. So you

keep everything watered and just have to hope that all the work you did in the garden keeps it 

producing veggies almost til the first frost. Which of course gives you more time to 

enjoy summer by heading off to the beach every week-end. Just pulled these beets up

this morning and looking forward to having them for dinner!
