drawing challenge: F O O D
i have a love-hate relationship with food and easily skip a meal
but since we have children that has changed
when our eldest son was five years old he had to follow a strict diet, roughly:
no dairy, eggs, sugar, spices or yeast bread
but vegetables, most fruit, green herbs and sourdough bread
and all that preferable organic or organic dynamic
i am therefore pleased that the organic farmshop of Do was and is so close
this all has changed my view on food
today i read cookbooks as novels and is Oldest a healthy young man
who even likes beetroots ;^)))
i have sown regular and striped beets in my kitchen garden
and like them best in a salad
but for this dc i used beetjuice as paint
and then
these mittens came by mail, thank you so much!!
in dutch beets are called 'bieten' or 'kroten'
please visit all the other participants:
Nadine, Ariane, Janey G, Céline, Sarapirat (maybe),
Joanne, Stefanie, Kristen, Barbara Bee, Eric, Leena,
Susan, Eva (welcome!) and Carole
before last image a page of the fine cookbook: Mr.Wilkinson's favourite vegetables

Oooh, dear Patrice, my favorite colour! and such pretty drawings!! so easily.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI wonder about your colored hands... is your beet juice as paint self-made?
Beautiful mittens!
Love
xo Ariane
(only few days:)
Nice how you´ve used the beetlejuice as paint.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeets, one of the natural dyes with such radiant colour, and one of my favourite foods! LOVE each of your beet paintings, Patrice. And those mitts are gorgeous. Happy Sunday to you.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh and I guess you didn't get my message that I too joined in this week's dc. Come over for a colourful food inspired visit.
xo Carole
oh so lovely!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThere is a scene in the keira knightly pride and prejudice where all the girls are around the kitchen table dyeing ribbons in beetroot juice and hanging them around the fireplace
I love that detail - and how wonderful that you are growing beets!
love
xx
wow, wow, wow! such a powerful colour, right? i was wondering what 'kroot' means, you know, or is that a fantastic doodle? your kitchen garden sounds like the delight it is going to be, all summer long. i am just a tad envious, since i've really not created anything in ours (garden).
BeantwoordenVerwijdereni've promised myself; néxt year.
till thursday, i'll email!! n♥
great colour and beautiful impressive paintings! I love "rote beete" - rasped with apples and sour creme - delicious!
BeantwoordenVerwijderen:-) mano
so lovely, the color, your drawings and the mittens. But please don't use them to peel beetroots ;-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwarm greetings from Paris!
Thank you, Patrice for preparing the link already! I've just downloaded my collage. I loved the topic. Well, I love food!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHave a great weekend,
eva
Oh Patrice these are gorgeous! i haven't done my work yet! I'm not actually sure I can get to it....had given time on friday to do it but something came up and ive been swamped since! I am so sad.....i a going to try to do it when kids are back at school on tuesday but do you think you should take me off the link up? have a wonderful Sunday and keep creating, it's beautiful xxxxxxx
BeantwoordenVerwijdereni love your paintings! the color the designs, the subject, really a joy to see!
BeantwoordenVerwijderensuch wonderful mittens too! how wonderful that eating organic has been meaningful to your family. Wish it was for the entire world, for it would benefit all life.
What a beautiful post! It reminds me of my mother who love bietjes (I do too;-) and what a beautiful color they have. Your paintings are beautiful, they would be so nice in my kitchen and I guess in any kitchen! Heb je de solo self geverft? nee toch? anders be wonder ik je nog meer!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love this post. All this amazing beet colour makes me want to swim in it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGorgeous color, Patrice, these lush beets, but I don't care for the flavor and never have. A pity, such a pretty edible.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for the challenge, it helped motivate me to make a drawing this week, when my life is otherwise out of order!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenOnly 3 days left! YAAY!

Thanks for the thought provoking theme !!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenJust beautiful!! Very impressive!!! I am glad to visit you today!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI am visiting your post through Kristen.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love beetroots, the color is always a big joy and me with 1000 allergies I am allowed to eat it.

x Stefanie

BeantwoordenVerwijderenik ben dol op rode bieten, voor de aardse smaak maar ook voor de kleur :)
