Pickle Polka original mixed media painting by Polly Jones























8" square colorful original mixed media painting.  Sold

I like to stare at pickle jars. You should try it some time. I can't quite capture the ambient color of the juice with paint. This (really colorful) piece has some vintage Golden Encyclopedia paper in it....some of it covered up. I especially like knowing that it has "Winged Victory of Samothrace" echoing the slant of the pickle spears on the right. A triceratops skeleton is covered up on the left.

Makes me hungry! Pickles are one of my favorite snacks!

I wonder if pickles are good for you? Vinegar supposedly is so maybe pickles are a health food choice.
