/ This painting “A Lesson of Stone”is another collaboration with Maria Medeiros and is based on her painting Rose Stars... / I could not resist depicting the delicate rose against the hardness of stone…as Pablo Neruda so eloquently states “To harden the earth, the rocks took charge instantly, they grew wings”...to emphasize the symbol the rose plays in our lives I applied gold leaf to the petals which I painted in high relief…I felt that Maria’s stars should remain to echo Neruda’s words about the “succulent sky, having not only clouds, but an earthly stone flashing here and there”. Watercolour on Canvas with Gold Leaf…see more of our collaborations below…click on each image to see the enlarged version… But man cannot master this lesson, / the lesson of stone: / he tumbles, his body crumbles, / his word and voice unravel.

/ “Chocolate Cupcake with a Mocha Swirl is the latest in the Series “Delicious”...Watercolour on Arches Paper…see other’s from the series by clicking the links below… I love cupcakes and I make them a lot…this is one of my favourites…here is a little bit of cupcake lore. The term ‘cupcake’ is first mentioned in E. Leslie’s ‘Receipts’ of 1828. Breaking with tradition of weighing ingredients at this time they ingredients began to be measured in cups. According to “Baking in America” by Greg Patent, this was revolutionary because of the tremendous time it saved in the kitchen. “The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America.” explains that the cup name had a double meaning because of the practice of baking in small containers — including tea cups. Cups were convenient because hearth ovens took a long time to bake large cakes. Gem pans, early muffin tins, were common in households around the turn of the 20th Century and cupcakes were baked directly in these. Throughout the 1900’s cupcakes became popular kids treats partly due to their ease in baking. In the early 1900’s Hostess introduced the snack cupcake, but it didn’t become the Hostess Cupcake we know today until the 1950’s. Many people associate cupcakes with the popularity of homemaking of the 1950’s and 60’s although this is an myth. Cupcakes were no more popular during that time period then they are today. More likely is that adults associate cupcakes with memories from their childhood. What is different today is that cupcakes have gone crazy. Traditionally they have been made for children in basic flavors. Today the cupcake has gone gourmet and is playful, hip and glamorous. Over the past few years cupcake bakeries have opened around the country with people waiting late at night on lines out the door. This craze is here to stay Crazy about cupcakes.com. 1081 Views / Cinnamon Bun / / Scone with Berries and Cream / / Lemon curd and Blueberry Tart / / Strawberry Tart / / Blueberry Tart
I know, I know, traditional New York Cheesecake is supposed to be plain and unadulterated without decoration, but I have added candied pecans… I can’t help it, I like things to be dressed up especially food Part of the Delicious collection, a “Slice of New York Cheesecake with Candied Pecans” is painted in Watercolour on Arches paper… Everybody has a certain image of New York Style Cheesecake. According to New Yorkers, only the great cheesecake makers are located in New York, and the great cheesecake connoisseurs are also in New York. In the 1900s, cheesecakes were very popular in New York. Every restaurant had their version. I believe the name “New York Cheesecake” came from the fact that New Yorkers referred to the cheesecakes made in New York as “New York Cheesecake.” New Yorkers say that cheesecake wasn’t really cheesecake until it was cheesecake in New York. what’scookinginamerica.net / / Cinnamon Bun / / Scone with Berries and Cream / / Lemon curd and Blueberry Tart / / Strawberry Tart / / Blueberry Tart
In his sumptuous exploration of food images (Food in Painting), Kenneth Bendiner states, that ” food for the art historian can be the one area where conscious rules and dignified ideas need not hold sway ..the real urges and concerns of a painter or his society can rise to the surface.

Watercolour on Arches Paper… Danish pastry, or simply Danish, is a sweet pastry which has become a speciality of Denmark and the neighbouring Scandinavian countries and is popular throughout the industrialized world, although the form it takes can differ significantly from country to country. Danish pastry is, like the croissant, said to originate from Vienna and is called wienerbrød (IPA: [ˈʋiˑʔnɔˌb̥ʁœˑʔð], lit, “wienerbread” (corresponding to the French Viennoiserie, ie a hotdog bun) in Denmark as well as Iceland, Norway and Sweden. In Vienna, however, the pastry is known as “Kopenhagener Gebäck” or “krøllet hår”, and its origin may well be the Turkish baklava like the Strudel. Both the croissant and Danish are laminated doughs, and as such are categorized as Viennoiserie products.

Painted very quickly, as they are going to be eaten in minutes. We / all love pancakes, but I think we North Americans are probably the only ones who eat them for breakfast ...Yummm…. The latest in the Delicious collection, is as usual a watercolour, painted very wet, fast, and loose on Arches Not Paper... A pancake is a thin, flat cake prepared from a batter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Pancakes exist in several variations in many different local cuisines. Most pancakes are quick breads, though some are made using a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Pancakes can be eaten at different times of the day depending on local tradition. A crêpe is a popular variety of pancake of French origin. / Most varieties of pancakes, but not the Breton galette, are cooked one side at a time on a griddle and flipped halfway through the cooking process to cook the other side. The process of tossing or flipping is part of the essence of the pancake, and one of the skills that separates the experienced cook from the beginner. It is traditional to turn pancakes over by tossing them in the air using the pan and without using any other implements. This is a tricky maneuver that requires practice to perfect. / In Canada and the United States, the pancake is usually a breakfast food, although savory crepes may be served with the main meal. A “pancake supper” can be a social event (in the manner of an ice cream social or barbecue), with pancakes served at dinnertime. Pancake suppers are sometimes held as fund raisers. In Australia and Britain, pancakes are eaten as a dessert or served savory with a main meal. / A smaller pancake, often called a “silver dollar” pancake, is sometimes used in the creation of hors d’oeuvres in place of crackers or other bread-like items.

/ I have had the recipe for this incredible dessert for many years and I have made different versions of it several times...the paper got creased and tattered with use, but the end result is always delicious…the original styling was perfect so I never changed it much, but repeated it every time I made it, especially when it was for friends…mind you when any one sliced into it, there went the perfect styling .... Watercolour on Arches Not Paper.. Shortcake is not really cake. It’s really a rich biscuit. A warm, crumbly, buttered biscuit, split in half, and filled with strawberries or peaches or some other wonderful summer fruit and topped with whipped cream. (Think of it as just-short-of cake.) The name “shortcake” dates to William Shakespeare’s England, according to The Oxford Companion to Food by Alan Davidson, although its 16th-century meaning varied widely from a shortbread-like cookie to a small cake. In early America, shortcake meant one thing: a dessert with berries ..
