These jars of home-fermented pickles really caught my eye as they sat on the windowsill of our vacation cabin. The cabin was cold, and the sunlight helped warm the jars to get their natural lacto-fermentation going. One jar is cucumbers, two are red beets, and one is golden beets. Unfortunately, the camera really does not capture the glowing colors of the original painting, but the essence comes through. This is the first version of this painting, and was destroyed in the Tubbs fire, October 2017. I later painted Rustic Pickles II to replace it.
