"Prize Pickles"

One of my favorite themes over the summer was food, starting with a penchant for pies.  Most of these paintings are small and square, perfect for an empty area of kitchen wall not covered by cabinets, or perched on an easel for the countertop or sideboard.  My second food interest of the summer was colorful pickled produce in Mason jars, inspired by my friend Helen Chilton.  Helen shared her canned pickles, beets, tomatoes, beans, and peppers grown in her urban garden.  And my friend Lisa Smith, co-owner of Mountain Juice, packages their freshly made products in Mason jars, adding to my interest in these age-old vessels.  Just seeing a Mason jar brings to mind something homemade.  Talk about comfort food!
