Samantha just turned six months old, a good time to find my favorite pictures of her, and turn them into a collage. Experimenting with tissue paper, gesso (for glue and texture) and gouache (like watercolor, but more opaque).
There’s nothing special about a red pepper, is there?
And yet this is one of my favorite paintings.
Samantha, who turns six months old this week, wishes you some adventures in 2022.
My doctor is on my case to eat five fruits and vegetables a day, plus very little meat, both of which she says will help prevent heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. And meat production and transportation as the two leading causes of global warming.
Habits aren’t that hard to change. A breakfast smoothie (banana, almonds, frozen berries, almond milk, and OJ in my little blender) and a tray of vegetables, tossed in olive oil, salt, pepper and roasted, are delicious and filling. So far I’m on track. Check with me in a month!
Sammie and our family wish you a happy, healthy year ahead.
