After we released ArtBytes on Wednesday I took a couple of days to do something completely different. Still creative, but a different avenue. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to doing more in the future. Click here to see pictures.

Swiss and Gouda

I've been browsing the fancy cheese section at the grocery store recently. I now judge swiss based on how big the holes are. I get a lot of funny looks, but it's worth it.

This Wednesday at 11am CST my husband and I will be interviewed on Artists Helping Artists, again. : ) This time we have a big announcement - one I think some of ya'll will be particularly interested in. I'll announce it here as well, after the show, but if you want to hear it sooner be sure to listen in. We've been working on it for months and I've been itching to scream it from the rooftops!

I felt it was appropriate, in my second cheese stack painting, for there to be a pig involved. And while he fell in love with the grape I fell in love with the reflection of the cheese back on him.

I get my best ideas right before I fall asleep and right after I wake up. I don't know why. I had this idea recently, in bed, to paint little stacks of different kinds of cheese, paired with fruit. Why on earth was I thinking about this in bed?! At any rate, I was very excited to try it. And it turns out cheese has some lovely translucent qualities that are very interesting to paint. The only problem is after it sits out for a while it starts to ... "sweat" a bit.
