Painting Vegtables and Eating them too!!!

I painted these radishes today as one of the projects for my beginner class next spring.  If you look carefully you'll see hints of pink shining through a dark, glossy black background.  This adds interest to a background that can end up flat. I'll teach you how to do it. 

I love vegetables and am a vegetarian of many years. I recently  turned vegan. I have traveled all over the United States teaching, and on my travels met many women with health problems. I am concerned that they do not know how to eat. In the United States we have become dependent on packaged foods.  If you read the label there are many words you can't pronounce. If you can't say them, please do not put them into your body. 
 There is a myth that eating meat is the only way to get protein when many vegetable's have more!

Some women believe that calcium builds bones but recent research has shown that this is not true.

Food is medicine......choose whole, plant based foods.  Dieting is totally unnecessary if you eat a plant based diet.
 Read-- "Forks Over Knives."  This is a new book and movie about a plant-based diet. You can click on Amazon Books  on the right and buy it now. It could save your life.
