Sunday Sketches - peeking through the fence

This looks like a fun book, 'What's for Lunch, how schoolchildren eat around the world', by Andrea Curtis. It was featured in our local newspaper.  It showed some neat photos of lunches around the world.

For Sunday Sketches, this piece is entitled 'peeking through the fence'. It's acrylic on cardstock (6.5" x 4.5"). I did it based on a photo I took recently on a walk, just at the beginning of the fall season.

Very interesting to see what kids eat for lunch at school in India, where we will be in November. Looking forward to our trip! That painting is intriguing, and the title is perfect for it, Christine.

beautiful painting Christine!

I just brought a book hoe from the library the other day called What the world eats, it has a photo of each countries family with the months groceries , I enjoyed this book very much, it has a brief story of the family and their daily life, 21 countries represented, it was really good.I think I will try to find the book you spoke of as well

Very creative. Somehow the photo and the title is a reminder of how I am at times especially when I am bored. I tend to go beyond my limit. But I am happy as I discover. May your week be great :)
