Blancmange land

Trying to come up with a food image that would announce our trip to Quebec tomorrow for four days of Nordic skiing, I thought of Baked Alaska. But with temperatures forecast of -10F (!), there'll be nothing baked about it. I also thought of oeufs à la neige, but eggs seemed too, oh, slippery. And slippery isn't something I want to dwell on right at the moment.  So, blangmange it is---a pudding made of almonds and milk. 

Gouache (on paper, of course.) Scroll down to see the whole image.

Will post sketches from the trip--- A bientot!

Thank you, everyone! I do love to work in all kinds of mediums and the good thing about the themed sketchbooks is that you've GOT to, if you want to stay interested and interesting. Chuck, goody! Lydia, I love the posters from your childhood that Amanda has hanging in her house. Lin, maybe I'll add a recipe when I get back! Maggie, thank you for checking out my paintings. I'm sure you miss the frigid weather, don't you? V, Terri, Linda, Cin and Janey, thank you as always and Nina, thanks for coming back for a look/see.

Lovely piece and it's great to see your range of works. Yes, we do have things in common, one is that we like to express ourselves in many ways, and not afraid to stretch ourselves and our talents.

Blues always speak to me with energy and it does with this painting. The snowflakes add the perfect touch. I also love the warmth of Golden Beets and House Solterra, very moving.

I hope your skiing trip is fantastic, it certainly is cold enough! I lived in Canada for 20 years and experience many cold winters.

Wow this reminds me of these great Swiss-designed posters of the 50', 60's and 70's. I love single object art!
