This is a commission for a customer of mine who said paint me sunflowers and a sun. I think it came out nice and he is excited to receive it. It just needs to dry and I need to put a frame on it and then its off to my customer. Gary and Andy- if you are reading this I saw you two on a commercial for your guest house on TV. Looked like you were having fun! I couldn't find your email address!Thursday, May 20, 2010

Food post
Here it is the middle of May already and I haven't posted very often. Busy Busy busy. Got home from NJ and helping my mother get moved into an assisted living place I thought I should make my daughter a nice home cooked meal. Tenderloin beef kabobs and grilled veggies! Just skewered and marinated in olive oil and salt and pepper.
Cooked the meat second and only for a few minutes it was still pink inside. Served with oven baked curry sweet potatos. Just rolled in olive oil and curry powder and salt and pepper bake on oiled sheet pan, yum!
For Cinco de Mayo I made fish tacos with some lovely fresh halibut, pan sauteed in corn meal with fresh pico de gallo, guacamole and a cilantro lime crema.
Served with vodka Mojitos with crushed strawberries. OLE!

Checking in on the mangos
With a morning walk after being away over a week, the mangos looked much bigger. Keeping my eyes on them to make sure none fall over the fence into my waiting hands!

Several new paintings
SOLD
This was started and put aside and changed and changed and then put aside again and then repainted and finally I think I am done. Not totally happy but it will do and we shall see if the coffee drinkers out there like this. Who knows it may get gessoed over and reincarnate as something else down the line! I love the colors and the vase and the window. This one is 18"x24" with just a simple black slat frame.
2 more little 5"x7" gallery wrap paintings. These have been good sellers for me so I just keep painting them.

Thinking of red
Saw Broken Embraces with Penelope Cruz. A movie by Pedro Almodovar. So Much red. 
Loved the beach house, they escaped to. I think I lived here once.
ripe red tomatoes, red kitchen tiles, red sweaters, red skirts, red dresses, red shoes. Sad story.

Plant city strawberries
Spring Break 2010....... No not on the sunny beaches of Ft. Lauderdale but touring central Florida with my daughter looking at prospective colleges!. A highlight was a stop in Plant City Florida, the strawberry capital of Florida. We missed the strawberry festival but found, thanks to the sweet man at the information office, Parkesdale Farms. Thinking just to buy a flat of strawberries we were surprised by this wonderful strawberry themed farm stand.
The berries were wonderful., but what a surprise to see strawberry shortcake and strawberry milkshakes!
Had to try one of each.
Strawberry throne , complete with crowns so you could be a strawberry Queen!
Red every where. Drove back to the keys with the sweet smell of berrys in the back seat. Open year round, but only serving shortcake from January to mid April! So get them while you can!
