This painting reminds me of how much I enjoy experimenting with new recipes along with tried and true favorites.

I have certainly been doing a lot of cooking lately, especially trying some new soup recipes. I like soup for lunch on these cold days, but it has to be homemade. The most recent recipe I tried and liked was a Tomato and Black Bean Soup recipe from a vegan cookbook. Next I am going to try curried sweet potato and parsnip soup. 

End Of Day Painting

Fay Terry, FLOWERING HERB, 6 x 6 " oil on panel

I was on the beach this morning at seven o'clock walking with my poodle, Camden.  On second thought, I was walking and she was running non-stop, cavorting across sand bars and crashing into waves. The best part was that we were the only ones on the beach for the whole time we were there. The day got busier after that.

I dropped off some paintings at the gallery in Southport, photographed a large flock of Ibis that will be great painting material, and replaced a battery in a smoke detector before driving back to Pinehurst.  The temperature was ninety one when I arrived home and I wanted to relax with a large glass of ice tea.

Instead I picked a handful of chives and went into my studio.  The result is shown above and reminds me that  even doing a painting at the end of a long day feels good.

Chive Blossoms

Chive Blossoms
Chives are so handy for cooking and so easy to
grow.  I have sent countless clumps of chives
to be planted in other gardens and my friends always report great success
with them.  I usually cut off all the buds because it makes for
healthier plants. This year I let a few of them bloom just because
they are so attractive.
