New Year

2012 is upon us and I hope this will be the best year ever. Painted some small canvases and they turned out very well so next will do some large abstracts on large canvases. Can’t wait to get started.
Wishing all the bloggers a Happy New Year.

Harmony and Balance is my motto for today. The big question is how to achieve a harmonious and a balanced life. I’ll have to think and ponder on that.

Just spent a few hours painting on silk. Love the interesting and varied results that I got from painting with this medium.

new dish

I made the best

I made the best Ratatoulle yesterday. Even my husband loved it, who disliked the dish prepared the traditional way.
Here is what I did:
Cut in, chunks an eggplant, Peppers, onion, Garlic, cauliflower, chopped herbs(oregano, rosemary, parsley, etc.)
Add a can of fire roasted crushed tomatoes, olive oil, salt, crushed re pepper, mix and roast in a lined baking pan at 400 till soft. There is no cleanup.
Just take out of the pan and enjoy with a glass of re red wine and crusty bread.
