I received a fun commission last year by e-mail from a man who said his wife loved my paintings -Well we were already off to a great start weren’t we? He asked me to create a larger painting for his wife’s Christmas gift. We corresponded through the fall and decided to let his wife decide what the subject would be when she received the gift of the commission. This pair of paintings now gracing the kitchen in their stunning home was the result of his wife’s request for “very large asparagus (which she supplied on the spot from her refrigerator; We browsed through it for several more parts of the set-up as well. So, thanks to Tyler and Jenny, I started on a culinary series that now has encompassed dozens of paintings of Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar bottles from Tuscany and Seville, Cheeses and herbs de Provence from France, Soy Sauce and Teriyaki bottles from Japan and my own Sonoran Mexican Peppers and Tortillas. |
