Great painting!New subjects. I love the way you have been able to capture so many textures, from the waxed butcher paper to the dry,
cut the roof of your mouth bread crust,to the white outer layer on the moist saucisse.
I can almost taste it! Longingly....
I once brought a saucisson back to the US in my bra. (IT WAS IN MY SUITCASE!)I adore them (French saucissons). I also adore your paintings! How do you manage to make my mouth water, my eyes water with your paintings? This is fabulous! Gargantua (or JLowrie)
Thank you Leslee and Marie-Louise. Ruth has to do all the tasting as I have a large hole where my tooth was and Saucisse is the kind of thing that seems to be drawn into it, so you could consider this painting as a sort of fantasy - the dentist suggested eating an omelette so perhaps that's tomorrow's painting. Now that is sad.
So French! Love this painting, the muted colours and the way everything sits on the cloth so naturally. Bread is such a difficult thing to paint. Lovely!
I just clicked on the painting for an afternoon pick me up and in enlarging it, I see its even better than I thought!
Might you consider making a giclee of it? I am sure you would have a lot of happy vicarious eaters and purchasers.
Pensez vous, svp.
