Coruscating Eggplant

Coruscating Eggplant by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gessobord

Yes, I am intrigued by the gleaming reflections on this vegetable! This little guy was also from the weekend market trip to Boston. I sure got a lot of items to paint from that market. It is kind of hard to bring myself to actually cook the 10 or so small eggplants we bought there, they are so cute and soooo small---they don't seem real. If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment! Paintings by Sandra Galda are copyright.
