Easter Peeps
Pink Peeps – buy now
A gang of pink marshmallow Easter Peeps.
There’s a school of thought that color harmony alone can give you any light effect you need in a painting. The Impressionists and yadda yadda.
I don’t ascribe to that school; instead I bought a special color of paint that I thought would go to the perfect hot pink for these Peeps. Of course I don’t want to drop $15 on the wrong color so I was on pins and needles until I got the tube home.
And I was RIGHT!!
Holbein Geranium Lake, if you feel a need, as I invariably do, to paint some pink peeps of your own.

So miniature eggplants are good for cooking. They’re not bitter, and you don’t have to soak them in salt water. This is also true of Japanese eggplants, by the way.
Food lesson over!
They are also fun to paint.
