Queen of Cabbages
August 6, 2014
This painting had its start at Whole Foods in the spring when they had a special on cabbage (probably for St Patrick’s Day). There was a huge box out by the door of beautiful, rose-like cabbages and this one was the best, as far as I could see. I’ve posed her on a glass surface and added a passing ladybug as a jewel. It is 12″x12″, acrylic on canvas and has now been sold.

Hi Susan,
I have only just begun to paint the cabbage and love what you have done. I have a hen pecking at one, trying to convey an old fashioned feel with dark grass behind. I can only aspire to your high quality. I will keep it up. I use acrylics and enjoy the lovely range of blues and greens and yellows I explore. Your reflection on this work above is amazing.
Thank you!
