Abstract Iris

Iris: Associated with death as Iris was a Greek goddess of the rainbow, which she used to travel down to earth with messages from the gods and to transport women's souls to the underworld. The three upright petals and three drooping sepals are symbols for faith, valor, and wisdom.

Squash Blossoms

Battered Squash Blossoms
(With or Without Stuffing)

The Batter:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fat-free chilled milk, beer or water

Cheese-Mushroom Stuffing:
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
2 tablespoon mushrooms, finely chopped
1 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, minced
16 large squash blossoms, washed
Canola oil for frying

1. Prepare the batter first. Sift together dry ingredients, then whisk in milk, beer or cold water until smooth. Cover and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Leftover batter can be stored for up to two days. If it is too thick after refrigeration, add a few drops of water to return to original consistency.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. In a bowl combine the ricotta cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, mushrooms and basil. Open the blossoms and spoon about one 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture into the center of each. Avoid overfilling the blossoms. Twist the top of each blossom together to close. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

3. Pour the oil into a skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over high heat until a small cube of bread dropped into the oil turns golden brown within seconds.

4. Briefly dip each stuffed blossom into the batter, then carefully slip into the hot oil. Cook until golden on all sides, about three minutes total cooking time. Add only as many blossoms at a time as will fit comfortably in the skillet. Transfer with a slotted utensil to paper towels to drain briefly.

5. Sprinkle with salt, if desired and serve immediately.

The Purple of Lilacs

Is there anything more purple then Lilacs? Maybe, but to me if I think purple I think Lilacs.

Lilacs bloom in early May. There is a lot to be said about having a large vase of Lilacs by your bed as you drift off to sleep with that glorious smell.

I always get caught up in the drama and romance of them. It is interesting how the scent can conjure up memories and I am in a time machine taken back to another time and place. The fragrance takes me back to a time as a child on the farm playing in the warm spring air under the Lilac bush. The lilac was so old it was more like a tree then a bush. Climbing its gnarly branches and siting up so high where no one could see me, I would read my adventures of places I wanted to see in the lilacs.

Can you smell the lilacs through my words?

Expressioins in Teal, 1020

Abstract Expressionism is suppose to invoke an emotion in the viewer.Today my emotions are in teal.
Abstract Expressionism has no distinct image instead you are looking at how someone feels how it comes across as action,color,and movement. My paintings are always full of color and movement but with this series of abstract work I am concentrating on how I feel at this moment.Today I feel Teal.

Seahorse and Bubbles

I have been traveling and painting again. I love North Carolina. A state rich in history it was first attempted to be colonized by the Spanish and then later the British. North Carolina,as a plantation state had a long history of slavery.

Yesterday I traveled to Raleigh , the capital of the state and a city know for it lovely oaks. The park in the down town area boasts a large sculpture of an acorn. While I was in Raleigh I visited "Art Space. The building houses 28 working artist along with exhibitions and education class' in the arts taught by the residence artist.

The minute I walked into Art Space I thought of the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria Virginia that I toured last year. Art Space is much smaller having 28 working artist where the Torpedo Factory has 82 working artist the feel is similar. I spoke to some of the artist there and they said that, yes it had been modeled after the torpedo factory. If I were an artist in the area I would want to be in this space the artistic juice was flowing here.

If you visit Raleigh the Art Space is a must see and while you are there stop and see the gallery of watercolorists Nancy Meadow Taylor.
