My Grandmother's Sugar Bowl
This is usually in a kitchen cupboard because we really don't put sugar on anything. I thought I'd bring it out into the light of day to sketch it. Little pink flowers - are my friends surprised that I painted this?I bought a savoy cabbage to roast with some other vegetables for dinner guests tonight. It's beautiful! I'm hoping I will get a chance to paint it before I cut it up and cook it, but I don't know . . .
The check-out girl insisted it was a SAVORY cabbage. When I insisted it was not SAVORY, she finally charged me for green cabbage. Whatever. I was just trying to educate her, she never did believe me, and I got the better end of the deal.

Such a delicate feel to those flowers, Catherine. How you must treasure it.

I like this too. It brings to mind my grandmother and greatgrandmother. Tell me what is the difference in a savory cabbage and a cabbage.. Diana
Karen, Annie, and Diana - thanks!
Diana - it's a savoy cabbage. The check-out girl insisted that it was savory, but it's savoy. It is darker green than a regular head of cabbage, and the leaves are very ruffly/curly, and the veins a much lighter than the leaves. Very pretty! But it didn't roast well.
The lovely sugar reminds me of my grandma. I am now a fan of your artwork Catherine. You live in such a pretty area as I have visited there many years ago. I live across the waters in Door County, WI.
Bev - thank you! I hear your area is beautiful too.
