…. strawberries would always be in season…
….chocolates would never make you fat…
….aspararagus would be available all year round….
…. onions wouldn’t give you a smelly breath…
….coffee would be considered a health food…
….my purse would always have money in it…
….my house could self-clean by the push of a button…
….I would have a chauffeur to drive me where I want….
….I would never again have to fly economy class…
In a perfect world, I suppose I would never have to snap my finger…

- Sorry! It was coffee not tea. And I agree about economy class travel – from Italy to Australia is about as bad as it can get!

- What a great post, Ronell! I agree with you about everything, and these paintings are really marvelous.

- Thank you for all the lovely comments, everybody..
Nik, I’m almost embarressed to confess – I don’t have a specific brand of watercolor…I use everything that is on the market, so I have half pans and tubes and full pans of this and that and there isn’t one that I can say I truly don’t like or particularly prefer. When a color is finished, I just replace it by whatever I feel like buying when I’m in the store…not very artist-like, I suppose, sorry..!I do favor Arches and Fabriano papers though.
You are actully spot on, Robyn, it is Rooibosch tea in the last image(which is ironically, a very healthy tea!!) but I was too lazy to draw the coffee and I WANTED coffee on the list, so I just used this image…forgive me for cheating there!

- andrea joseph’s sketchblog said…
- Wow Ronell,
these are absolutely stunning. I’m in awe. The lovely loose style, the colours are fantastic – just all of it really!
My own favourites; the onions, I just love the way you can almost feel that papery skin, amazing. The bottom one is just brilliant too, as well as the asparagus…… - ksklein said…
