Happy New Year!

5.5x8.5 watercolor and ink, inspired by a can of blackeyed peas containing tomatoes, onions and jalapenos, commonly known as Hoppin' John.  Sometimes served with rice or just on a bright white plate, the peas are a tradition for good luck if you eat them on New Year's Day.  So HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Peas and Beans

5.5x8.5 watercolor and ink done while in my hotel room last week in Albuquerque.  This ink and line wash illustration shows a rusty blue and white colander for shelling blackeyed peas while an old slotted spoon awaits its assigned duty.  A bowl of purple hull peas sit idly by a vivid red and white kitchen towel in this simple country still life.  This was planned after much thought of Sketchbook Skool's teachings but I've not posted it there.
