lemon cucumbers 7x5.5
These lemon cucumbers are from the garden at school. Their deep golden color is very striking. All of the lemon cucumbers that I have seen up until today were quite pale in comparison.
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach high school art in Placer County California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. I took a break from that strict schedule for a couple of years but since the beginning of 2014 I have been completing one small painting on a daily basis. The practice of completing a painting a day suits my disposition and aesthetic. I have also found that modeling this sort of daily practice for my students is important. I am making these paintings available on ebay. Thanks for stopping by and check back often if you like what you see.

These look wierd. What do they taste like? Cuccumbers? Lemon? Squash?
I've been looking all over for these! Haven't even seen any at the Farmer's Market.
dj...
FYI, they taste like a "light" cucumber. Milder flavor, thinner skin. I wanted to add them to a cold wild rice salad for some crunch.
