Here is another painting done with pen and ink and watercolor. I saw these beets last year at the farmer's market here in Boulder. They stopped me in my tracks. I had never seen beets that were orange. They had recently been sprayed with water, so they were glowing under the vendor's tent. I decided not to buy them because I knew that I wouldn't have time to paint them. Now I buy bunches of these beets and paint them and then roast them with garlic and olive oil. They are delicious!
