Four large oil paintings hung on the walls with a floor full of vegetable plant starts.
These referred to my father’s garden journals that he kept from my childhood. Fully rendered: Still found through their original company.
Undertone of blue or brown: Bought out by another company. Cut out shape: No longer available today.

In 2007, there were numerous people growing food in the backyards in Portland, Oregon. It reminded me of the time when people grew food in their gardens during WWII.
I combined this with imagery from my own childhood growing up in NH with a family who grew food.

Maine College of Art Painting Major

At artist lectures I would ask them what their favorite food was. I would then paint their portrait as that food item.
Since I was paying my way through college I also worked at numerous restaurants. The concept of “You Are What You Eat,” was a major influence. These were all painted in oil.
