Peach On A Plate

Peach On A Plate

This peach was really fun to paint and so was the plate.  It is a smaller size in the same set as the plate I used yesterday.  These plates make my white ones seem very boring.

These peaches are meeting to discuss the current state of affairs in the peach orchard where they grew.  It seems that some of the peaches are demanding to have a say in what they end up being used for.  Some of the traditionalists(11%) want to be used in Peach Melba, 13% of peaches only want to be used for jam, 17% for peach pie, 20% for peach cobbler, 1% for peach salsa, and a whopping 38% demand to be made into Peach ice cream!

Each Peach, Pear, Plum

Each Peach, Pear, Plum

Here is yesterday's post which for some mysterious reason did not go through yesterday.

When I set up these three pieces of fruit I was reminded of an old dipping rhyme:

Each, peach, pear, plum,
Out goes Tom Thumb;
Tom Thumb won't do,
Out goes Betty Blue;
Betty Blue won't go,
So out goes you.


This was popular as a jumping rope chant and as a way to choose sides for
various games. I always loved jumping rope and became pretty good at it-somehow jumping rope when you have to hold it yourself takes much of the fun out of it.
