WIP and Food

A bit of art and a bit of food today! A good combination in my world...
I discovered a whole bunch of childhood photos of myself and am having fun working from them for a few paintings. Love how this drawing has turned out and can't wait to start painting today!
I was glad to read that I'm not the only one with trouble getting back into routine once it's been broken. One of the things that helps me is cooking and last night I made one of our favorite summer food: Baba Ganoush.
I had shared the recipe a few years ago in this post, along with a recipe for preserved lemons and hummus. We mostly eat it with cut up veggies like cucumber, carrots, radishes, or jicama. Easy to make and so delicious!

Happy Friday!!

  1. It looks delicious! I love hummus, although I don't get to eat it very often. Never heard of jicama, what is it?
    The drawing is beautiful - such a dreamy smile!

  3. Yes I am just like you described. I worked a retreat last week-end and took me until this Friday to get back on track. I am working on faces but nothing worth showing yet. I did post my latest acrylic Hydrangea in an Old Bucket a few days ago.I copied your recipe. Thanks for sharing.

  7. What a fabulous sketch - you draw hands very well, I see. :) That baba ganoush looks absolutely amazing! I love Middle-eastern style dips. I could probably eat hummus all day long!

  8. Been poorly so not visited for a while. It's a good job we're both married, Silke, because I think I've fallen for that young lady! Can't wait to see how she turns out though I can't see how it csn be better than the sketch.
