Olive Oil

























I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation.

Madame Benoit


This small painting of a jar of olive oil is one I started several years ago and has been sitting with a group of other paintings waiting for some finishing touches. It was initially intended to be an exercise in learning to paint glass. I'm not quite sure I have that down yet but I am pleased with how the cork turned out! In any event I hope to be posting five or six small paintings in the near future in an attempt to get my studio organized. And, oh, I am dedicating this painting to the most intelligent cook I know ~ Em!

The Jar


I could say I've not been well ~ I could say I've been traveling ~ I could say my computer has been acting like Hal. Anyway, here's a little update on the white jar.
