Sans Aquarium

16x20 Acrylic on canvas

Sometimes I like to work with a famous piece and see what I can learn from it. This is based on a Painting by Matisse. I must have learned something. I'll let you know when I realize what it is. I painted Sans Aquarium a few weeks ago but wasn't quite happy with it. I tweaked it a little today and like it much more. Contact me if you are interested in purchasing this painting...T

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.
