kale x 2

Ansel has always loved the Public Market, our enormous central farmers' market. He got up before dawn every week to go there and get his pick of the best vegetables.

When we met, I loved eating vegetables, but I did not love washing vegetables. "When you wash them, they're so sparkling, and fresh!" he said. He reminded me of how beautiful they are.

Now we go together to get the vegetables (but he still washes them).

hallo, cupcake!

Because "Hello" is probably trademarked :)

This was an experiment with using acrylics more like watercolors. The result makes me laugh...and I'm dedicating it to my friend Christina, maker of cupcakes!

Here is my (at least a thousand-word-long) ode to the chocolate tart that Christina made yesterday…no, it wasn't purple and green, but I think these colors express how each part tasted to me. 

Dark chocolate interior, pastry crust with ground almonds.

Thank you, Christina!

You are an inspiration.
