Have I ever told you how much I love to read? I just finished My Lobotomy by Howard Dully. Kind of a morbid Christmas gift from Tom. I loved it and It is a TRUE story. I almost cried. Tom knows me so well. ..T

Shrimp Creole

8x10 Acrylic on canvas board

This year I have a new years resolution of a different sort. Occasionally I will post a painting with a recipe attached. My resolution was to write and illustrate a cookbook of my favorite cuisine. I don't think I can handle the pressure of calling it a book so I will just call it an online collection instead.

Like always the paintings are for sale. I am still not able to post on eBay . If you would like to purchase "Shrimp Creole" the price is $30.00. Just contact me to arrange payment.

The first recipe is one that has been in my family for generations.
If you cant get FRESH shrimp, Chicken is good too.

I set out to do a week of Angel paintings. I am really having fun with them and the fact that they are easy to sell is great motivation. Maybe I will paint them through the new year.
