Your Art Inspired by Relish the Moment

What an intriguing work of art inspired by Sara's Relish the Moment photograph 
(The inspiration image is at the bottom of this post..)



Helen Eaton: Homemade Pickles You'll Relish
Oil on Canvas,  10"x 10"

·               Thinly sliced cucumbers (6-ish cups)
·                Thinly sliced onions (1+ cups)
·                White vinegar (to cover... 1-2 cups)
·                1 cup sugar
·                1/2 teaspoon salt
·                1 teaspoon mustard seeds 
·                1/2 teaspoon celery seeds 
·                1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 
·                Combine vinegar and spices in a saucepan
·                Bring to a boil for a minute while stirring 
·                Pour vinegar mixture over cucumber and onion slices
·                Cool, cover, and marinate in refrigerator

·                If you need relish, just take some out and chop it up!
 ***Feel free to use more or less of each ingredient.


Nelvia McGrath: Mind of an Artist

Collage/Acrylic 11"x 14"
This idea began because I emptied my pencil sharpener’s shavings.   
Thought I could collage these into an interesting pattern.  
Next came the surreal head with art supplies coming out of it 
(sorry one mangled Dick Blick catalog).  
So many ways to make a picture and show how we “relish” life.


April Inspiration 3: Relish the Moment by Sara Harley
In 2019, I started my "Dirty Dishes" series, in which I photograph interesting patterns I find on our dishes waiting to be washed.
You may see a plate of left over relish. I see a joyful celebration of confetti. Take joy in the simple things. Relish the Moment: 1. to savour or enjoy and experience to the full. 2. to anticipate eagerly; look forward
