Radishes

Watercolour

(approx 6"x8")

    As soon as I saw this vibrant bunch of radishes in the grocery store today I just had to buy them because they were calling out to me - not to eat them - but to paint them!  Talk about inspiration!!  That red, the green - WOW!!

   

    I have, however, found out that you can roast them like any other root vegetable, allowing them to lose their sharpness and take on a natural sweetness that is similar to carrots... so after studying them a little further through scetching and painting I think I'll through them in the oven and try out this new-to-me cooking method!
