Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas 20x20 Purchase Information Though summer has ended, autumn has still not taken hold of central Texas.  My garden continues to produce tomatoes and peppers of all kinds.  Also, my little potted lemon tree is, in reality, a lime tree.  What better way to celebrate the vibrant flavors of this produce than to make salsa? www.kristinekainer.com www.kristinekainer.blogspot.com

Oil 16 x 20 Purchase Information What does one do with excess paint on one's palette?  Use it in a colorful way, of course!   One of my favorite vegetables is the artichoke.  Whenever I've cut one in half, I've always been awed by the amazing formations within--the leaves, the choke, and the delicate heart--all nestled along a vertical axis.  It is truly stunning.  Thus, this painting attempts to celebrate the innate beauty of this delicious thistle in a vibrant way.  Mmmmmmmmmm. www.kristinekainer.com www.kristinekainer.blogspot.com

Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas 10x10x5/8 Available Fresh eggs from backyard chickens have spoiled me.  Their color, texture, and flavor are incomparable to store-bought cartons of questionable origin and ethics.  In honor of those hardworking hens, I have immortalized  one of their incredible gifts for my breakfast plate.
