favourite foods day 10 another one!
This is an enduring favourite from childhood: smoked haddock with new potatoes and peas. (I got a little carried away with painting enthusiasm today ; ))

favourite foods day 7
An odd sounding, and truly delicious pasta dish: farfalle a la genovese (I think that's the right name!), which consists of the lovely butterfly wing shaped farfalle pasta cooked with chopped up new potatoes (I like to use red-skinned ones for the colour), and green beans, all mixed together with chopped herbs, pesto and a dash of cream (although if the dish is just for me I usually leave out the cream) : )

Fab new palette
Yesterday I treated myself to this beautiful new palette, spotted recently in the window of the very wonderful http://www.cornelissen.com/. It is my reward for completing the artwork for my advertisement in the Directory of Illustration 25! I love the shapes of the paint wells, and that they are so deep, and well separated from each other: )

favourite foods day 4
Today I worked on several paintings, and have not yet finished any of them! Here are the next two favourite foods as "work in progress", which show how minimal the underdrawing is for my paintings. I've discovered that my water colours have a lot more life if I paint them, as opposed to colour in something I've drawn up in detail first.

Favourite foods day 2
Green salad: perfect to go with pizza, or with most things. This one has frilly lettuce, chicory, fennel and greek cucumber, all topped off with some Newman's Own classic salad dressing : ). I do sometimes make my own salad dressing, but Paul Newman's variety is fab, so I often take the lazy option!

Gardening and eating
Yesterday I was having technical difficulties with re-sizing, etc, so did not post the final painting from the gardening project: the beautiful white clematis montana that graces my garden in the spring : )
My new blog project is my favourite foods, and here I am starting with home made pizza : ) It is so very easy to make the dough base, just requires a little planning in advance, and then I can have pizza with not very much cheese, and heaps of lovely fresh vegetables. Asparagus is a great addition in the spring.
