Gloria J Zucaro's "Favorite Summer Salad"

5"H x 7"W Ink Design with Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencils
This is a greeting card with the painted design on the front.  When you open the card out flat, the recipe is on the top half.  There is an envelope to go with this card.  The inside is blank.

This is my challenge entry into this weeks The Artist Playroom hosted by Jennifer Mclean at  http://www.justaddwatersilly.com/search/label/APR.  We were to pick our recipe and create art to go with it.  This week I am also doing lesson one of Dion Dior's class through Joggles.com titled "Watercolor Pencil Workshop with Dion Dior".  I signed up last Friday thinking it started July 28th, but it actually started June 28th, so I am two weeks behind.  One of our projects in Lesson One is to make a simple line drawing with our pen and then cut it up into sections with a curving line running through it to make a sort of stained glass effect.  So I combined my two ideas.  The recipe and the project.  I am linking this to Paint Party Friday, also.  Go see all the other entries,too!  http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com/

    The salad sounds so refreshing. I like the drawing and after reading your description went back to look at again as see just how much those swirling black lines add to the composition.

    Sounds like nummy version of guacolmole. Am sure I would enjoy eating it and the drawing is perfect compliment to it as well.

    It doesn't get much better than tomato and avocado together... two of my favourite foods and to me they scream summer... and nice watercolour pencil work...xx

    You brought summer right into my lap with your recipe Gloria, which was a treat...since we're still in mid winter here!
    Fantastic to see you've used the Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencils
    because I'm about to finish off my illustrated recipe tomorrow to enter into the Artist Playroom and I've used the pencils for the first time.
    I think I'll have to take a peek at that course. It sounds great!

    Aahh, I love the movement those swirls create! And I am with Tracey - it does not get much better than tomato and avocado together... thought honestly I've never thought of making them into a stand-alone salad! But now I will. Thanks for sharing!

    Okay, the illustration is great, and the salad sounds terrific. Hmmm, do we have any avocados?

    You're so creative - love the card and colors and recipe. You've hit the trifecta - the card is so summery looking, perfect for the easy salad. Visiting from APR
