Life is a Bowl of Cherries
Welcome to the new site, just another of a list of projects I have been working on the last few weeks. The studio is still full to the rafters with ongoing work, but I was able to get away for the weekend, for the first time in three weeks. I would like to thank AL for his patience in helping me with the new software, we actually managed to get some work done inbetween our myriad conversations. Singher finally made us break it up with her plainful whimpers to go outside for a walk.
I will be creating an archive of work, and moving selected posts over to this site in the coming days, and I will probably be messing with the template for this site as well. I needed to move my site due to limitations with my old software, and fear that some of the work and writing that I was posting was ripe for theft, and re-use elsewhere. I will be reposting an image gallery with personal and professional work, for all of you who are into food pornography; my current paying gig.
New York is looming nearer, and I am anticipating a fabulous time. To that end, I have been refocusing my efforts at the gym, and have been pestering friends to help me plan my itenerary. Flight is booked, as is the hotel, and I can't wait to meet up with all of you who are making the trip in May. This will probably be the only time I get to travel this year, and I am so looking forward to it!
I am also working on a few more pieces, and will post them upon their completion. I will be sending you all links to the new site as time permits.

Pooh.. wrong post..
Glad to have you back sugar. Hope things have slowed down enough that I'll hear from you now and again. Subtle hint, eh???
Elegant look to it all! Makes me ashamed of my dowdy tired format. And the photo of the cherries is gorgeous and might be worth painting. It's yours, isn't it?
Yes Tony, I did this as a light study sample for my portfolio. Thank you, and if you want to paint it, I would take that as the highest form of complement. (hi res available).

Funny ... my very first full-length play was originally titled "Life is a Bowl of Cherries," and everytime I see it written down somewhere, I swell up with pride -- and then I remember that only one little theatre somewhere in nowhere central California ever produced it, and it got a shitty review.
But I finished it, and that's what matters, no? Looking forward to NY, too!
Life is all about the follow through Red. You are a published playwrite! Nuff said

No patience required, though obviously you listened well, as the site looks great. I conquer withe general sentiment around the pictures, they are stunning. Especially the cherries.
oh. my. stars. this is the most gorgeous thing. you are SUCH an artiste! fresh, clean, absolutely lovely. i want to LIVE in your blog page. stunning.
and the cherries in the tin? pewter? cups? please, please, PLEASE when you need an assistant, think of me. i'll just scamper around behind you and do whatever, anything at all to be in the presence of such talent.
you are amazing. this is gorgeous.
-Thank you Lynette, but again, I must thank Al for convincing me to change blogging software, and for helping me set up this clean, and pretty format. He is a patient and kind man. You would make a perfect prop stylist with your background in antiques, and I would adore having you work with me in creating food environments full of warmth and comfort. Part of the beauty of food is the emotions we attach to it.

Great lookin' site buddy,and the food porn looks yummy as always.
Should we change the links on our blogs to this site?..let me know.
But I still get to be your line bitch, right?
Well there you are! Love the new look - very clean and classy. Compliments to you and Al. Anytime you do your food photos I see why you are so in demand. I so want a big old bowl of cherries about now.
And since I won't be in New York I want pictures of the gym-trim body so I can see what I'll be missing.
WOW! This looks fabulous, Tater! Very nice. Hat tip to Al as well, he's great, eh? And that pic of the cherries, omg, no wonder it's your paying gig. Well good on you, this is really beautiful. Nice and clean, polished.
The other site always gave me problems loading up for some reason, so now it will be easier for me to visit, as well.
Padrecito recommends you, so here I am. ;)
Added you to the blogroll.
Gorgeous shot! Juicy...
