Bread Making Day (photo reference)
Welcome Home
Hi!
I'd like to share a heartwarming moment with you this week.
I decided to pass on the Strada Easel challenge this time and give my
full attention to loved ones.
The family is gathering today to celebrate the life of my sister, Rose.
Many are here in Michigan for the first time in years.
My sister Kate, who lives in Albany, New York, is staying with Wes and
me. When asked, she was eager to help me make cookies and pepperoni
rolls for family to have during the visitation.
As we worked, up to our elbows in flour, she mentioned the blue bowls
Mama had. I brought this one out of the studio, washed it, and laid the
bread dough in it. Both of us agreed that it would make a good subject
for another painting.
So we staged and photographed the scene and then stood there by the
table together, becoming a little misty as memories of Mama kneading
bread came flooding back.
There is something warm and endearing about making food together, and
I'm so glad Kate is here.
Soon I should be getting back to my "normal" routine and can finish
both this blue bowl painting and the other.
Wherever you find yourself this week,
be sure and take time for birdsong!
Jan
P.S I am keeping my promise to do a giveaway with one of the six small
works I painted before deciding not to finish the Strada challenge this
time. (Date to be determined)
