I'm not usually one for 'food based art' in the kitchen, but when I saw these watercolours by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/TheNightjar?ref=ls_profile">The Night Jar</a> I fell in love. They are subtle yet with true colours that makes them just that bit more 'edible'. The Night Jar is also known as Tarra Lyons. Tarra has  a BFA in Painting with a Printmaking minor at Boston University, which shines through in her work.
