Making the leap

Inspired by the artists in the Everyday Matters Yahoo group, wanting to participate fully, I'm diving into the world of blogging. I plan on figuring out how to swim once I hit the water! Here's my offering for EDM challenge no. 106, "something sour." It's done in acrylics.

Welcome to EDM! Love your ruby red, and especially the wet reflections you so beautifully rendered on the cut surface. Please keep sharing your work with all of us. I learn something new from fellow EDMers everyday.
