Acrylic on stretched canvas, 12 x 12 inches.
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. This replaces the first version of this painting, which was destroyed in the Tubbs Fire October 2017. Rustic Pickles II won a First In Category award at the 2023 Clearwater County Fair in Orofino, Idaho.
