The title of this abstract painting is a play on words…”Salad Days” in popular parlance refers to our youth, days of carefree life, romantic, joyous, free from responsibility…but the painting in it’s impression of a single lettuce leaf, is also a celebration of the joy of the coming season…salad days…. / I love the challenge of painting food as an abstract work…I used various types of watercolours, including the powdered metallics, to give me the effects I wanted to achieve…the veins of the leaf explode with vibrant reds and oranges, while the edges glitter with copper and gold…the feeling is of crackling heat and light….the vibrance and energy that comes only with youth in our “Salad Days“ / A Single Lettuce Leaf

The kiwifruit originated in China.The fruit has a soft texture and a unique flavour. / Originally known as the Chinese Gooseberry, the fruit was renamed for marketing reasons in the mid-20th century, first to melonette, and then to kiwifruit. The latter name was chosen for the indigenous New Zealand bird, kiwi, which is one of the country’s national symbols. The second renaming was done in order to avoid a tariff on imported melons.

Richmond, Victoria, Australia. the famous skipping girl.
Skipping Girl is a neon sign in Melbourne that is a bit of an icon. The company may have moved on but the sign was restored but it doesn’t actually work anymore. I thought I would take a picture of it with my new little P & S Nikon and then add the neon back. This is part of a series of different takes on Skipping Girl which is a bit pop artish and just fun to make.

Apples can be canned, juiced, and optionally fermented to produce apple juice, cider, ciderkin, vinegar, and pectin. Distilled apple cider produces the spirits applejack and Calvados. Apple wine can also be made. They make a popular lunchbox fruit as well.Apples are an important ingredient in many winter desserts, for example apple pie, apple crumble, apple crisp and apple cake. They are often eaten baked or stewed, and they can also be dried and eaten or re-constituted (soaked in water, alcohol or some other liquid) for later use. Puréed apples are generally known as apple sauce. Apples are also made into apple butter and apple jelly. They are also used (cooked) in meat dishes.
