Kitty
I got a new kitty!!! He is white and orange, and hell on wheels.
But, he is the most adorable thing you could ever meet... when he's sleeping. I haven't had a kitten in probably 5 years, so I am not used to tiny kitten claws and tiny kitten teeth, and absolute craziness. I'm really excited though -- I love cats, kittens, and all kinds of fluffy creatures :3
(Zipper's and my purse are his current infatuation)
In Other News
I went to bed at 7am this morning. Getting little to no sleep at all, I spent the majority of my morning listening to the thunder storm outside and brainstorming. New Orleans thunder storms can be epic -- it just rains in buckets for a few hours and then it all goes away and is back to being a million degrees and humid. Summer, yay.
In my brainstorming, however, I have decided that I will be starting a new series of drawings. So many people photograph beautiful food, I figure... why not paint it? I'd like to do all kinds of different concepts -- still lifes, grocery displays, gardens, plated food, various steps to making food. I think it will be fun. Something different, something challenging.
Favorite Things
For probably 2 or 3 years now, I have followed sasQuat-ch on deviantART and on her blog Notions and Notations of a Novice Cook. I am so inspired by not only some of the most gorgeous food photography ever, but brilliant recipes and dishes. I think every dish posted comes with a complete write up of the recipe and procedure. Everything is to die for, and I wish I had more hours in the day to cook everything.
Also, Cupcakes
Cause who doesn't love tiny to-go cakes? From cute, to fancy, to just plain ol' yummy... no one can resist.
