Postcard from Pine Plains: A special radish

This summer, we signed up for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share with the wonderful Sol Flower Farm. Depicted in the very small (5" x 6") oil painting on carton is a radish from this week's box of vegetable goodies. The radish's destiny was to be part of my favorite hors d'oeuvres -- radishes over herb butter on slices of dark bread and sprinkled with salt (very French). But before that, I painted it along with an old copper pot.
