I know I lead a magical life when I discover that the avacado I am preparing for dinner is just so beautiful I can hardly contain myself! 
Unfortunately for my family this lovely and voluptuous piece of produce did not make it to the dinner table but instead was stolen away to my studio to be painted on the spot.  Oh juicy, creamy, joy...

I've been painting a lot of fresh produce lately.  Could it be because I live in Minnesota and I'm ready for it to be springtime?  Enough said. 
Aren't these pears just lovely, though?
