I am almost back into the swing of things.  After going to Taipei, I had a two day training for Photoshop and Adobe InDesign.  A fantastic course, if I must say, but I'm definitely glad not to be cooped up on a classroom at the moment!  This was the last one of the kiwis.

As I was painting these kiwi slices, I just kept imagining these models, turning this way and that for the camera.  The kiwis started to take on a personality of their own, and before I knew it, visions of Zoolander were running through my head.  I'm off to Taipei, Taiwan tonight to see a childhood friend I haven't seen since 1996.  It should be exciting!  I promise to post to the Dillon Factor Mom!

This week is definitely Kiwi week.  These two look remind me a bit of the shoving matches my brother and I used to have as kids to look in the mirror when we were kids.  Never mind the fact that neither of us could really see into the mirror, or that you don't need to see yourself brush your teeth, we each HAD to stand in front of the mirror.  One of those small sibling rivalries.

I was in the grocery store earlier in the week and saw some Kiwi fruit from Italy.  Kiwi fruit - from Italy!  In the middle of winter!  I was completely amused by it.  Once I set these guys up, the light was shining through them in a really neat way that made them glow.  Being able to paint Kiwis reminds me of beach, and summer.  I miss the Lowcountry!
