Marmalade

Colette brought marmalade to painting class yesterday.  thank you Colette! 6"x6", oil on panel (available here without gnat).

With Moderate Abandon

This painting had me thinking I'd add another category (the categorizing clearly fills a deep personal need of mine, have a look down there in the right column) entitled With Abandon in which I might include the latest donut and some of the swimmers.  But now this strikes me as more moderate than that.  8"x10", oil on clayboard.  Perhaps I will go back in and be mores specific with the plate.  (As the painting was done yesterday the mango itself is no more.)

Donut

11"x14", oil on canvas.  I had to paint this thing-those teeth marks put it over the top.  In hommage to Julia Jaquette and Evelyn Eveleth,  whos work floors me.

For Serbian Meat Pie with Kefir

To be featured this month on the Immigrant Kitchens blog, by chef, writer and mother of two young children Lindsay Sterling.  She satisfies her travel urge while getting to know her own community by "asking anyone with an foreign accent right here if they wouldn’t mind teaching me how to cook their favorite foods from their homelands."  On her blog you'll find the recipes and stories of the people she meets. Its these kitchen table stories, such as that of Momen Abdullayof from Uzbeckistan, that get me interested and thinking twice about my family's rigid culinary routine.

 

Eggs for Lindsay

This is for food writer, Lindsay Sterling for her blog Immigrant Kitchens.  (I was working on larger pieces today, one of them with this tile pattern, her email gave me a welcome excuse to whip out something small, whew, thanks.)  6"x6", oil on panel.
