 How can people say they don't eat eggplant when God loves the color
and the French love the name? I don't understand.

Another wonderful vegetable for the "healthy month"  at Jean Haines's Online Art School www.watercolourinspiration.com and my Veggie Series. Eggplants were the first motives I have painted in watercolor many, many years ago. I love all about this wonderful fruit.
