Tomato, egg, pepper shaker

Oil on board, 20 x 15 cm (= about 8 x 6 inches):

As usual the camera did not reproduce the colors quite accurately. I boldly claim that the original looks better.

This work will appear on my Bid-or-Buy store as soon as it is dry enough to transport!

Mustard and tomato

After a long battle with lack of sun and tough clay soil, I finally managed to get a tomato plant to grow and produce a few fruit. Makes for a nice edible model!

Datura

Cosmopolitan weeds. Datura ferox:

And Datura stramonium:

In both species, all parts of the plant are toxic, especially the seeds. Because the toxin can lead to delirium and hallucinations, the plants are sometimes used as recreational drugs. Not a good idea at all, and death as a result of intentional or accidental Datura poisoning is not unheard of. 

Cestrum

A species of Cestrum. Originally from the Americas, they are somewhat popular garden plants in South Africa. In some areas they have become invasive. They are also poisonous to some livestock.
