My “Sweet and Savory” series is one of my favorites.

Why paint food?

Because it is basic.  We all must eat.

Because it is natural – or at least should be.

Because it is beautiful.  Others may see an ordinary tomato but I see a star waiting for its closeup.

Because, paint what you know, and I do know food!

Soon American families will gather to celebrate turkey, football, and holiday shopping.  Food will be the centerpiece with family recipes dusted off and reprised.

As we give thanks this November, bear in mind those who are without.  As always, 25% of my November sales will go to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC.   Please keep in mind your local resources this month and throughout the year.
