It’s been a week and I had originally painted day 2 of the 30-day challenge but did not post because I had company, my daughter’s birthday and being distracted with the event. The lonely Shallot was painted in 2 hours, I had a hard time with it especially the translucency of the skin. I will […]

Baked Alaska
As I mentioned on one of the previous posts that I had family staying over and I was making a cake for my daughter’s birthday so, here’s what I ended up making. My daughter has had whey protein allergies since she was 4, she is now 14, it has been a challenge for her to […]
The Best Marscarpone Brownies.
Yes, they are! Really they are, they’re the love child of a moist Brownie and a Tiramisu, they are absolutely delectable and best of all…they are super easy to make. I used my favorite brownie recipe that I have been using now for about 15 years and simply added an additional step to make these […]
My Potager …
Hopefully, you got here after seeing my previous post It’s SPRING! Rose Garden in the making. After completing the rose garden I felt that there was something missing, I needed a French Kitchen Garden – nothing to over the top, just enough space to grow Thyme, Garlic, Green Onions, Shallots, Oregano, Basil and a few […]
It’s SPRING! Rose Garden in the making.
So here we are again… another Spring – and I must say I have been definitely distracted in preparation to this wonderful season, perhaps my favorite and I wonder why… I have been once again stuck in the garden – project after project with a painting resting on the easel that I have commenced and […]

It’s been a while…
It’s really been some time since I have posted and quite honestly it’s been a while since I have painted, I guess I have been feeling frustrated and perhaps defeated in my journey as an artist. I tried placing some of my work in a coop gallery but only lasted there 3 months – it […]
Moscato and Tangerines
I decided to do this painting to have fun with colors and shadows, my main focus was the tangerines. I really wanted to capture the tangerine sections but did not want it to look like I was trying to attempt hyper-realism, which either way I am not very good at. I still wanted it to […]
My new website…
Well, along with my gardening and all my Halloween decor that I’ve been caught up in, I had the brilliant idea to consolidate my website, blog and store and to make it worse change the hosting company. This meant that I had to start from scratch for my website but now I had more theme […]
Luffa update in the garden
I finally got the hang of it with my Luffa gourd, after initially producing 1 Luffa Gourd I started researching why my plant only produced 1 Luffa Gourd when it had tons of yellow flowers. Well, I found out that the plant was full of male flowers and I need female flowers to bear fruit, […]
