I always enjoyed listening to Paul Harvey on the radio and looked forward to hearing "The Rest of the Story." He took little vignettes from the present and past and turned them into a commentary that entertained and informed. As artists, we often do the same. I took asparagus and turned it into a little bit of visual entertainment.

Asparagus are one of my favorite vegetables (is the plural asparagi, or asparaguses, or neither?) I love them steamed with melted butter. And, if no one's eating with me, I just pick them up with my fingers.

I've been re-reading "Hensche on Painting" by John W. Robichaux, a birthday gift from my sister. The book is filled with Robichaux's notes from Hensche's classes, as well as transcriptions from tapes. "Give your viewers something more than decoration. Give them something that will raise their level of vision. Let them see a new beauty through your eyes." In this piece, I'm letting the viewers see the asparagus from the bottom up.
