Once I finish this project of a suite of food images for a food lovers' guide to my area, I'll be ready, more than ready, to plunge back into the water (paintings) again! Actually, though I love color, I've really enjoyed this dip into black and white world. I have 20 images---thought I 'd share a few with you. Btw, Daniel Smith's Lunar Black is a FINE product! It granulates so exuberantly, you almost think you're painting in color!

Just gorgeous Laura, who would think monotone paintings could be so lively. I've had a big project drawing food too, but very differently and comparatively boring - no creative license at all :(!

Thanks very much! Kate, you're going to love Lunar Black! Sue, yes, they will be in a book coming out this fall. I'll give details soon.
