PEGGY, this is such a remarkable painting. At first I thought this was a photo. After reading the description as well as the comment from Dan Redmon, I know the circumstances which motivated you to paint this outstanding work of art. YOU deserves much praise for this as well as all of your works of art on FAA. Bravo for you. LF P.S.Thank you for your encouraging comments.

Dan Redmon
Peggy, you really produced in a relatively short time. Thanks for taking the challenge. My entry was only a black and white study which I do before rendering in color. I was so anxious to paint my color version. I just plain ran out of time due to so many distractions. My version was going to substitute the celery with a cluster of paint brushes and colorful paint tubes for the carrots with my palette for the colander. Then leave the other veggies in place. I was disappointed that we didn't see at least a couple dozen entries. Yours is certainly well done and you deserve your prize of one of my greeting cards. Contact me from my website and let me know which card you choose and my left brain office executive wife will get it to you pronto. Not only am I pleased but if you enjoyed reading the discussion that spawned this contest you'll agree that Robert James Hacunda appreciates it also. - Dan Redmon .

Dan, I so appreciate your kind and generous comments. I love your idea of using paint brushes, paint tubes and palette in the picture and look forward to seeing the finished painting!! Hopefully the next such contest will garner more entries - I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and look forward to the next one. :-)

Thanks so much, Renee for your encouraging comments - and the votes! Yes, I was disappointed by the lack of participation in the contest as I was looking forward to seeing several versions. Thanks again!!

Thanks so much, Ann! I did expect the contest would generate some interesting responses so that much is a disappointment, but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and I'm pleased with the result.... the contest, not so much. ;-)
