DAILY BREAD


oil on canvas

For a few months now, I have been baking a ciabatta everyday, and one of the few things my husband I enjoy together is the odd glass of  Carmel Hills Winery's Pinot Noir with some lovely cheeses and of course the bread of all breads. You can get the recipe for the bread on my Cuisine page!

Love,

POMEGRANATE PLATE


I love the warmth of this ancient fruit and tried to capture it by using a warm undertone as well as warm high lights. This little work is latest in a series of pomegranate paintings which I am studying at present.

MARAAI SE GRANATE


Maraai is my friend, Mari, who lives here in California, complete with a pomegranate tree in her garden! Not only has she given me the fruit and the stand for Christmas, but also her mom, Berna, as a friend to me, for whom this painting was done. She will be taking it with her, when she leaves for South Africa tomorrow, where she lives in Blouberg Strand! I am blessed to have them both in my life and so happy to have been able to give Berna this painting as a small appreciation for being the special mother of my dear friend Maraai.
