Watercolour with Ink on Arches Rough… “I had only been a spectator of the proceedings at Lowood; I was now to become an actor therein”... Jane Eyre..

/ “Out There” is the 7th stage of The Journey…How often have you felt it’s you alone against what’s out there? No way through that you can see…impenetrable barriers everywhere…you can’t see…you don’t even want to look…our travellers have reached such a place…there is light beyond where they are but they don’t know how to get there…the valley of peace seems further away than ever…have they lost their way?

/ “Under The Orange Sun” is the 8th stage of The Journey. The Travellers have come to a silent and almost barren land, where the heat of the sun beat mercilessly down…where to shelter was the first order of the day. DURING this time, we had left the bright and transparent forest far behind us. We were mute with astonishment, overcome by a kind of feeling which was next door to apathy. We kept running in spite of ourselves. It was a perfect Right, which resembled one of those horrible sensations we sometimes meet with in our dreams. Instinctively we made our way towards the Central Sea, and I cannot now tell what wild thoughts passed through my mind, nor of what follies I might have been guilty, but for a very serious preoccupation which brought me back to practical life. Though I was aware that we were treading on a soil quite new to us, I, however, every now and then noticed certain aggregations of rock, the shape of which forcibly reminded me of those near the Port. This confirmed, moreover, the indications of the compass and our extraordinary and unlooked-for, as well as involuntary, return to the north of this great Central Sea. It was so like our starting point, that I could scarcely doubt the reality of our position..Journey to the Centre of the Earth… / / There it lay, before me, as they had / said it would: a distance / I’d wish to cross, / then try to, then leave / off wishing. Words like arc, / and trajectory. And push. The words / themselves over time / coming to matter / the way, in painting, color does: less, / finally, than the gesture / each stroke / memorializes. C Phillips / / We reached the Valley of MIsts the next day…it was just as described…snow was still settled in the gullies and our shoes made no sound as we trudged over the rocky terrain…we stood for a while in silence….the quiet seemed to echo around us…no bird sang…our destination was still some ways off ...The Journey..Janis Zroback These hills, to hurt me more, / That am hurt already enough. / Having left the sea behind, / Having turned suddenly and left the shore / That I had loved beyond all words. excerpt E.

/ 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. Fire, water and tree / steel themselves: / dying, they seek a mineral body / and find the road to glory: / steady, the stone shines / like a hard new rose. Pablo Neruda.. / / / / /

/ This painting “Lo! A Rose”is another collaboration with Maria Medeiros and is based on her image Secret Words... / Again I did my own interpretation of Maria’s beautiful photo, by painting the rose in a three dimensional style to look as if it were heavily gilded, though I used only earth toned hues made of combinations of blues and reds…written over the surface are the signatures of famous artists in history…you can decipher some of them when you enlarge the image ..

/ “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. There’s a certain freedom in the margins of art – where experiments and indulgence can operate—in other words more can be learned about someone from his backyard, than from the street façade of his house.” A little more loose in style, but non the less recognizable as as that delectable treat, the Danish…filled with fruit or cheese or both, it is nonpareil with a cup of coffee or tea…I cut a long one and stacked three slices…I had to paint fairly quickly, but I did take a photo, in case I wanted to do them in a different way…I am quite happy with the end result... 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 ..

There’s no such thing as a Bumbleberry—it’s a name pioneer cooks gave to dishes made with a combination of berries.

“Winter in the North” is part of the Landscape Collection and it’s the north of Ontario on the Manitoba border... pulled from my portfolio and posted for this weeks Scavenger Hunt .. Watercolour on Arches Not Paper… PORTRAIT IN BLACK AND WHITE A grand clutter of magpies / in judges’ robes flutters to fill / the bone-bare branches / of winter trees. They stare / at me, then burst into mad / cackles of raucous laughter. / What, I ask them, is the joke? / The heavy load of winter snow / that slid sharply off the roof, / just missing me? The small cat / dashing by with piteous mews / to disappear into an open door? / The magpies do not answer. / Again in unison, they abruptly / cease their clatter to fly away, / bright plumage shining black / and white in icy winter light.

/ “Nectarine Crostata” is the newest addition to “Delicious” collection ...Watercolour on Arches Not Paper… 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. There’s a certain freedom in the margins of art – where experiments and indulgence can operate—in other words more can be learned about someone from his backyard, than from the street façade of his house. When it comes to a tasty combination of cream or fruit filling wrapped in a crusty pastry, the crostata is clearly a winner. As a form of tart that hails from Italy, the crostata can be prepared with a variety of fruit fillings and made into any size that the cook desires. This means that the crostata can serve as a bite sized accompaniment to a freshly made sorbet or take center stage as a dessert plate sized Italian tart garnished with a glaze...wisegeek I serve my crostata with whipped cream or crème fraîche on the side…. the greatest thing about a crostata, is that even if you’re not an accomplished baker, you can easily make it.. if you can’t make pastry, you can buy ready rolled pastry, fill it with your chosen fruit, glaze with melted apricot jam wrap it and bake it… in fact, even though I generally make the whole thing from scratch this crostata took me much longer to paint than to bake.

/ “Luscious Layer cake with Berries and Whipped Cream” is the newest addition to the “Delicious” collection... as I finished the painting, with all the delectable juices of the berries dripping down the sides of the slice of the cake, the song MacArthur Park, was running through my head… those of my generation will remember it… you know… the song that nobody understood, and that nobody could figure out why Richard Harris decided to sing it… be that as it may, this cake has nothing in common with that song… this cake is a celebration, not a reason to mourn Watercolour on Arches Paper… Winner of the Floral watercolour and pastel challenge, and featured many times I have been quoting Kenneth Bendiner’s “Food in Painting” off and on throughout the posting of this collection.. his book is a ” sumptuous exploration of food images in European and American painting since the early Renaissance… he sees food painting as a separate classification of art with its own history. / He looks at famous works by the likes of Brueghel, Rembrandt, Chardin, Manet, Warhol and many others, as well as some very intriguing paintings by a variety of less well-known artists. / He examines everything, from Still Life, to hunting pictures, bottled water, market stalls, menus, dining rooms, diners, and much much more. / He explains how images of food can be purely symbolic (which I consider my images to be)... he talks about the sexual reference is of surrealistic food arts, food as a marginal element in allegories, the optimistic human centered Renaissance spirit of food painting, and the way abundance, success and fulfillment pervade this art… he considers it to be a very undervalued area of art history”...

Delicious..Salad...A Medley of Potatoes Arugula, Red Onions, and Sweet Italian Sausage
by Janis Zroback/ This latest addtion, is for all those who complained of gaining weight just looking at the collection…When I make the salad, I always use the same styling as the original recipe (which I came across years ago in a magazine) as it was so pretty…..however it does not last…as soon as someone digs into it, it’s gone…the tribulaton of all cooks... Watercolour on Arches Not Paper… Arugula is an aromatic salad green. It is also known as rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine. Italian sausage is a style of pork sausage which is noted for its seasoning of fennel and/or anise. There are many different potato varieties, each with its own unique combination of traits…I use, purple, fingerling, sweet, and red. Red onions, sometimes called purple onions, are cultivars of the onion with purplish red skin and white flesh tinged with red….they have a mild sweet flavour.
