"I wonder if ever you change human beings
with arguments alone:
either peppering them with little sharp facts
or by blowing them up with great guns of truth.
You scare 'em, but do you change 'em?
I wonder if ever you make any real difference in human beings
without understanding them and loving them.
For facts are not to be thrown at people
like dishes or vegetables,
but somehow warmed into them."

you do veggies so well my friend, and those carrots look delicious. I eat a near ton of carrots weekly, they're my goto veggie. Nearly every lunch I have a couple large handfuls of the baby carrots you get in the grocery. I can go through a HUGE bag in a week. Too bad my eyesight isn't improved, lol. Gorgeous my dear.

That is an exceptional watercolor painting! It is so juicy, I thought it was an oil painting. I am amazed! Really wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteLovely perfect carrots. :):)
gorgeous... we will be harvesting some carrots next week but I don't think they will look quite like this... the last two I pulled out had some serious mutations... was almost too scared to eat them... I wish I grew pretty carrots like these...xx
ReplyDeleteThese are the nicest carrots I have seen in a long time! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI love your carrotttts!!! Don´t let the rabbits see this one....happy PPF to you and happy weekend too!
ReplyDeleteYou have made a big difference in my life with your art and your quotes. I love visiting here on Fridays. Happy weekend to you friend.
ReplyDeleteWow, that really makes you think. Love your juicy carrots, fab colours.

Beautiful! That's a very interesting composition of the carrots, and the texture you achieved is marvelous. Blessings!
ReplyDeletetrue!
ReplyDeleteof course, love the painting!
cheers, dana
Beautiful painting. Wouldn't have thought I would like carrots so much.
ReplyDeleteLovely work and such a small area ~ great post and quote ~ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful carrots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how you cropped this and made it have such visual interest with color, texture and line. Orange, in my book, is one of the happiest colors around. I love coming here every friday to have my senses be filled with such beautiful artwork and words. Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteOnly you could make carrots look so tasty!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, now those are the wisest words I've heard recently. Can we make the entire U.S. Congress take 30 minutes of silence to reflect on this sentiment? (No. But it was a good idea.) :P
ReplyDeleteI love the carrots! Beautifully rendered. I was just telling someone recently how freshly picked carrots are the best tasting. And sometimes the whole carrots in the store are wonderfully sweet. But I rarely get that with the cut up "baby" style carrots.
Oh my goodness - what an amazingly lifelike painting of those carrots - simply stunning! And I felt like that quote could've been written for me - I find myself often trying to wear my meat-eating husband down with facts on animal cruelty as if he'll change his ways if only he hears enough horror stories. I need to remember not to throw so many of those facts out perhaps!!
ReplyDeletewow your carrots are wonderful, you are so talented. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteThis is an incredible watercolor!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteLovely texture and cropped in composition!
The surfaces of the carrots are gorgeous!
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

ReplyDeleteMinnemie- your artwork is beautiful. You have a lovely style and you have transformed ordinary carrots into something beautiful! You asked on my blog about MoM. It opens every Sunday night (Sydney,Aus time) at 6pm and stays open until Thursday night. I can see that this image would suit it perfectly:)
ReplyDeletethis is a wonderful painting! Love the highlights! They look good enough to eat too.
ReplyDeleteThat quote is fantastic as well...yes, love is the ingridant needed, always. but they have to be open to accepting it too.
So impressive!! Love these carrots and make mes crave them!! With a curry chicken of course!! Good job!!
