Olives With Pimento

( This painting is still available, click this link to go to the auction page)

One of the benefits of painting food is that you get to eat your subject matter when you're done. But I have to admit that it's a challenge to paint a jar of olives without opening it up and popping one in your mouth! Normally, I like the olives that are stuffed with garlic but I thought pimento would be good for a change.
