I've been taking a break from painting while doing some much-needed organizing and cleaning up. What's always fun about that chore is discovering things you didn't know or remember you had. Many of the tools here came from my family's farm, and were thrown into boxes when my parents moved years ago. I don't even know how some of these tools function, but I love their beautiful shapes and the workmanship involved in designing and manufacturing them.
I like to share work in progress, random foodie notes (since I've written two cookbooks and illustrated others), and occasional past work from different periods of my 40+ years of drawing and painting.
