Lovely Eggplant

I bought these eggplants at a local farmer's market this morning intending to cook them up, but before that, I couldn't resist painting them. The gorgeous "eggplant" hue - that rich dark violet purple - was a delight to mix and paint. Each eggplant was a slightly different shade of the color, so capturing the colors correctly added to the 20 minute challenge. Watercolor, 5 1/2" x 8".
