Cabbage Innards

Domestic bliss on Friday night. In the kitchen, preparing my meal.
Unexpected surprises after the first unsuspecting slice of red cabbage, the pleasures of Mother Nature's genius patterns revealed.
Take a look for yourself:  below, the cross sections of the cabbage. Here, they are about to be boiled in borscht soup.

And now, as I write this, they are processing in my intestines...on its way out as a form far from its beautiful origins. But I don't need to paint you a picture of what that looks like, do I?




Watercolor Drawing inspired by the above mentioned Cabbage Cross Sections.  The corners are close-up details of those lush layers of skin. Reminds me of brains and intestines. Innards!

  1. Nice pictures and watercolor. I have a bag of beets sitting in my refrigerator...I see a borscht in my future.
