Studio Work ABOUT my art & others

  I love them - not only to eat, to cook but to draw and paint. Love the shapes and stance their presence bring to 'the table'.  :)  I have been doing them for years, for the reasons above but also by way of exploring colour, texture, design and to play with paint/mark making. A few here from over the years (below).  ink, pastel, oil and acrylic as well as ipad drawings, hockney & warhol inspiration.  Over at the art gallery under the heading PEARS you can find some for sale . let me know what you think .... more pears (available) to be uploaded here  

  I had  the idea  to post my mum's recipes here on the blog - a record that is not lost of recipes i  wrote down in my 20s when i learned to cook each dish. A record to pass on to friends and family.  My sister and i took turns, under mum's guidance, to learn and cook each weekend. Dad always said 'not enough salt'.      You can  find them ALL here  - a list of individual dishes linked to the full recipe for each.  A single place to find them all .  The list will be regularly updated - keep an eye out and do let me know if you try any and what you think. and always, when cooking, there is a bag of goodies for #snowcone.
