I just had to paint this lingering memory of a wonderful breakfast my brother-in-law prepared on our recent visit to England. Pain au Chocolat, berries and “posh coffee” as he calls it, from his new machine.

I find painting still life, especially food which we experience with so many senses (touch, sight, taste, smell…) time consuming and challenging but the end result feels so worthwhile. I am a lover of food and the simple pleasures of life so I keep coming back to this simple yet alluring subject matter.
