I recently made a post about baking sour dough bread. So while photographing the bread fresh from the oven, I realised that it might potentially be suitable for a painting.

So after enjoying some warm slices of bread with home made jam, it was time to look through the photos.

Lacking the complexity of most of my other artworks I could dive straight in with little preparation.

As a kid I thought still life paintings were boring, and wondered why anybody would ever paint them. Fast forward some decades later, as professional painter, the story has changed. I now understand it is more the challenge of the exercise in the skills required to render the subject. For the artist, there is the satisfaction of achievement. For the viewer, there (usually) is something pleasant to look at, which in this case is food.

Tomorrow, I'll prepare the newsletter and send it out to my collectors, and see if it stirs their appetite and whether anyone will bite. 😀
