Have you seen a more beautiful painting of beets? I doubt it. And AND I am related by blood to the artist. Do you think that I got any of that creative genius DNA? No. No I didn't. But I can write about it. Gorgeous watercolors and the woman can bake a pie like nobody's business. And here's the thing...there are more where this came from. Stunning tomatoes, incredible artichokes, sexy onions and slightly scary peppers. Do you see them here? Are they in my inbox? This is to call out my Sister the Genius. Send pics now so I can show the world more of your beautiful art. Or the beets get it.
Yikes! I got blogged!

Dang! Imagine my dismay in discovering that "My sister, the Genius" is not about ME.
Love --
Erin, your other sister who is apparently not a genius (*sobbing into my cup of coffee*)

Stunning! I would love some foodie art for my kitchen... can't wait to see more!

Nicely nice. We're in the same boat here. My sister is an excellent artist and I can't even draw cool stick people. If it wasn't for the camera, I'd have no art at all. Can she draw a rooster?

WOW, that is beautiful! I would love to see more!

Thanks all for the encouraging and positive comments. I will hopefully be posting more soon.
And for the record, Erin is the brains in the family, so she's THAT kind of genius.

Yeah, thanks everyone for your positive responses--and to Molly for putting my painting on her FAB blog. I will send some more images...maybe an......OKRA!

This is so rockin I would tattoo it on my flesh. Absolutely the most superfly beet I have ever seen.

I just found this blog and it is beautiful. This beet is gorgeous, I learned to love beets this winter. I love the subsequent art that shows up later, and I am waiting with anticipation my childhood friend, the okra!

I used a modification of your sister's beet art for a basis of my first ever tattoo. Thank you. If you would like to see a photo, let me know.
