An ink drawing of okra, laying in a pile on a white ground. The caption reads "Okra, which we tried to pickle."

Okra, which we tried to pickle

Ink wash and digital composite on paper

Back story

An ink drawing of a bunch of okra my wife grew in the garden. A store back home sells pickled okra, which we love, and we made our first attempt at DIY pickling with this batch.

I love the "squirmy" curves of the okra "fruit," especially when a few are laying in a pile like this.
