Having a green thumb is NOT one of my talents...thank heavens for good friends who plant too much! I chose this cuke to draw because it had a lot of interest in the coloring. Obviously it had been shielded from the sun by its' leaves, so there was more white than green. My big challenge was to give it a subtle light shine at the top of the picture. I actually used a bit of grey ink wash for that. It was fun, undemanding, (it didn't move once!) and the cats were completely uninterested in eating it. A plus for a still life...

I am finding a love for watercolor that wasn't there 20 years ago...maybe I am finally learning how to let go of some of my control issues!
