This time next week I'll be in Sweden. My husband and I are visiting our daughter who's going to Goteborg University this fall. Until then, there's Thanksgiving to get through----and that means lots of hours gazing at the stovetop. Gazing, stirring, steaming, whisking, simmering (not me, the sauces---well, maybe me, come to think of it) and more.
I am also going to be able to draw from a live model with my little group again and I'm really looking forward to getting back to that. Stay tuned.
Man do I hear you! What an orgy of cooking. But you've made a really beautiful drawing of your stove. I'm sure its going to get mightily used, as will mine. Love the reflections in the tea pot.

Wow, very nice! I just watched a cooking show from Sweden on Sunday "Tina Nordstrom" - they do a nice Christmas over there so enjoy. Perhaps when you get back we can see the stovetop with some pickled herring on it.

You have made such a common place setting seem magical here.
Have fun with the cooking.

You do make every day objects look ethereal! This is such a special gift, dear L. Looking at your drawings first thing in the morning improves the rest of my day.
