As promised here is day 6 of my 1 a day for 30 days. This one was clocked for 1 hour, I did have to get up a few times but I did manage to get something decent, at least I think. I did a still life of a fresh lime from my garden IContinue reading “Day 6 of the 30-day Challenge”

Day 1 of the 30-day Challenge

Day-1 of my 1 a day for 30, I’m keeping these paintings short no more than 2 hours, and the canvas size is 6×8.

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.
