Margery's Eggplant

Robert Spellman watercolor of a dark colored plate holding a single eggplant.

I've painted many an eggplant over the decades. This one is probably from some time in the 1990s. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of eating eggplant - I will if it's served - but I do love seeing them in the market. Sometimes I'll buy one just to have around for looking. They're really enjoyable to paint; the way they move the light around keeps you out of trouble.

Music of the Moment

This entry goes back to the Moons of Jupiter series of compositions. This one is called Chaldene. As a moon of Jupiter, Chaldene is a relatively recent find dating back to 2000. In Greek mythology Chaldene was one of Zeus' many, many sex partners. How willingly we don't know; but it doesn't look good.

I add one of these compositional sketches with each Moonblog entry on the new and full moon. I also have a page with more of this musical work in progress. Go here for a listen.
