For this week’s Illustration Friday theme: Green, here’s one of my creations inspired by the savory poem, “Beautiful Soup,” by famed Alice In Wonderland author, Lewis Carroll. Enjoy!

Oh, and don’t forget to eat your greens!

BEAUTIFUL SOUP
by Lewis Carroll

BEAUTIFUL Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!

Beau–ootiful Soo-oop!
Beau–ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo–oop of the e–e–evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!

Beautiful Soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth only of Beautiful soup?
Pennyworth only of Beautiful soup?

Beau–ootiful Soo-oop!
Beau–ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo–oop of the e–e–evening,
Beautiful, beauti–FUL SOUP!

[The above art was created with gouache, prismacolor pencil and some pastel.]
