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:

  1. Oooh, dear Patrice, my favorite colour! and such pretty drawings!! so easily.

    I wonder about your colored hands... is your beet juice as paint self-made?

    Beautiful mittens!

    Love

  3. Beets, 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.

    Oh 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.

  4. oh so lovely!
    There 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

  5. 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).
    i've promised myself; néxt year.
    till thursday, i'll email!! n♥

  13. Gorgeous color, Patrice, these lush beets, but I don't care for the flavor and never have. A pity, such a pretty edible.
    Thanks for the challenge, it helped motivate me to make a drawing this week, when my life is otherwise out of order!

  19. wat een prachtige kleuren!
    ik ben dol op rode bieten, voor de aardse smaak maar ook voor de kleur :)
    die wanten zijn supermooi
    zijn ze gekleurd met plantaardige kleurstof?
