A Peach of a Tale...

May have been a touch misleading with the title

but couldn't really come up with a witty title

I tried but that is the best I could come up with

which doesn't bode well for the rest of the post does it

but here goes anyway...

I decided to do a painting based on a soap wrapper that I saved 

from like two years ago

and I loved this soap

it was Italian and lovely and smelt divine

a bit like showering in fruit salad

not actual fruit salad

because that wouldn't be pleasant

and now I have an image in my head

of cowering in a shower while being bombarded

by watermelon and kiwi fruit

in fact it could be down right dangerous

especially if the watermelon was whole....

But the fact was that this soap 

almost changed my extreme dislike of peaches

I am not quite sure when it started but eating a peach

goes against my life long belief that you shouldn't eat anything furry

not old cheese, questionable Chinese left overs, cute pets

or any condiment that has formed a furry crust

in short

if it is furry

I am sooo not eating it...

so the only good peach is a tinned peach in my book

and yes I could peel it, but I figure life is too short to be bothered

not very gastro chic I know

 but those things are creepy and don't get me started on the freaky pip.... 

tin that sucker and save us all...

The soap however was gorgeous

and it was a mother's day gift from two years ago

and after hoarding it I finally got in and used it over the summer

and have started the campaign to have it replaced on Sunday

you know Mother's Day

are you reading this Phantom and Sinus?????

may have left it a bit late to hint about this one

but it is worth a shot even at this late stage

call me an optimist...

My favourite part of painting this though

was that I got to use my Twinkling H2O's

which give it this great shimmer

that really doesn't scan

but trust me it is there

painting with these little pots is serious fun...

If you would like to check out more great work
