Jacques Pepin, one of my favorite chefs and cooking authors illustrates his books and his menus for his family and friends. I loved the idea from the moment I saw his fresh creative designs. Any idea good enough to publish is good enough to consider borrowing, so I did!
When I invite our close friends over for a nice dinner I'm displaying two sides of my creativity: cooking and painting. Artistry in the kitchen - literally since I spend energy on the composition and color of the food as well - and artistry with the brush. It's fun for me and our friends always check out my hand done menu first. Here are some for your enjoyment. Sorry, but the food is all gone.

"Treeptych" is part of the publicity for our next Burlingame Plein Air Painters show at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica. It will run from the opening night invitational on Feb. 23rd, 2024 through Sunday March 24th. One additional piece of mine was also chosen by the judges for exhibition, "Bower". And here is the publicity poster for the show:
