Today's work includes two new paintings in my Culinary series: Carrots and Green Onions III. These are larger paintings in that series. My previous paintings in this line were all on smaller canvases, so these are for the food aficionado who wants their culinary art to have a larger presence in their kitchen or dining space.

Quote of the day: "There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge." --Friedrich Nietzsche
