Voici tout l'art de mettre un chou en valeur ! excellent

I love this! It takes me back to my college applications. We all had to paint a self portrait and a cross section of a cabbage, which we sent off. From these were selected the interviewees for the next round.

Looks yummy ;) I do love a good cabbage!

It looks like it's glowing from within...

what a variety of comments! Andrea talks about her college applications (she had to do a self portrait and a cross section of a cabbage??? what an entrance exam!), then Denise follows with "looks yummy!" And then Claude: "like it's glowing from within..." See the responses you inspire? Well, here's the original (if you know it, hey, I'll do it anyway)---though I probably screwed it up, because I'm doing it from memory; but it's by Lewis Carroll, and it goes something like: "The time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things: Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings..." Then it goes on to speak of boiling oceans and pigs with wings...lol, great playful stuff...but you wanna know what I feel about your image, right? I didn't forget!

Splendid, Marilyn! Your near black background makes it like a museum piece (Andrea just posted some oyster shells, with similar background). And you got the shape and highlights and rubbery surfaces, and that center in its beautiful yellow green---this is a terrific capture! You've posted very few veggies, so this is a rarity here; and I love it. More please! Lewis Carroll would be very pleased!

cool
