3 Potatoes (Sketchy Thoughts Series)

Title: 3 Potatoes (Sketchy Thoughts Series)

Completed in: 2008

Size: 5.75" x 8.75"

Materials: Graphite and Ink on heavy white paper (Bristol board)

The words read: Someone told me that a potato will turn green when exposed to light. And a green potato is poisonous. This sounds unlikely to me, but I would hate to die from potato poison, so I keep mine in a dark drawer.

I reached in the drawer for a potato that I bought just days before. I assumed it was safe. I was wrong. Vile stench. Rotten potato slime on my hand. Awful putrid let down.

Baked potato. Fluffy wholesome comfort. Perfect food.

The threat of spoiled potato shock makes a good potato even better.

MY REACTION: I have a lot of visual clutter that fills up my overactive mind. This series is one way of making room in my odd little brain for more necessary thoughts, like where I put my keys and when I have to take the dogs to the groomer and stuff like that.

CONTENT: Appreciating goodness.

ARTISTIC CONCERNS: I sketched this loosely in graphite first and then finished it in ink.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: This piece will need to be matted and framed if you want to protect your investment. I think these Sketchy Thoughts pieces would frame up beautifully with simple white mats and slim matte black frames.
