I'm inspired to these sorts of intimate scenes by the work of Julian Merrow-Smith. The compositions are interesting, and as a 'foodie', the subject matter delights my taste buds.

This painting is framed a little differently than my others. It arrives matted and framed with overall dimensions of 16 X 20 inches. The mat and frame add to the overall price a bit, worth it for the effect it delivers.

I've been AWOL on painting as of late because life some time intrudes. Here's a little still life to hold you for a bit while I head off to Montana for a little road trip. Expect a slew of landscapes in the next few weeks...

I had planned for this painting to be posted next week, but Keiser just posted something with similarities, and I'd hate to feel like folk think I'm just picking up after him... ;)

I mentioned a post or two ago that I was headed down to Lincoln City Oregon for a weekend with family. Managed to squeeze in a painting on the beach. Folk drag these driftwood logs into boxy little forts, and then light one in the middle on fire -- makes for a fun beach experience.

Off to Lincoln City this weekend for a quick trip to see my dad and his partner Nancy. May try and sneak in a landscape or two while I'm there...

Side note: I mentioned the recent brouhaha over inspiration, influence, derivation, and plagiarism (Plagiarism or 'passing off' - it's got to stop) a post or two ago, and I thought I'd share this tid-bit with you.

I was prepping material for my influences post last Sunday and did a Google search on "Duane Keiser" and no fewer than two Keiser bread and water pieces showed up.

Now, I didn't do this painting with either painting in mind (I did this painting last week). I had not seen either of the Keiser pieces in the last year or so, but I have seen both at one time or another.
I find it interesting that my piece is sort of a blend of elements from both: 1 and 2.

Hat tip to Mr. Keiser for being there first (as usual)!
