Purple Cabbage Abstract

Author's Comment

This isn't actually painted.

I boiled some purple cabbage for St. Patrick's Day ()cooked cabbage is classic Irish, and I like purple) and I noticed the juice on my plate was very purple. And when I put some lemon pepper on it, I noticed that the parts where a grain of lemon powder hit were very pink.

So I wondered if it was an acid/base thing, and after dinner I put baking soda on it, and got a blue/green.

And then I sponged the juice onto some sheets of watercolor paper and got busy with lemon juice and baking soda (sometimes mixed with water). Yow, foaming art!
