comfort in a bowl.

living in california, we are so fortunate for the temperate weather. especially october in the bay area with it’s notorious indian summer. and though the weather has been gorgeous, there is still something in the air on some days that says “fall.” and on theses days, there is NOTHING better than a bowl of soba noodles, fish broth, and barbecued squid at O CHAMÉ.  luckily they are right down the street from my studio and meeting friends here for lunch is a common occurrence.

i painted these magnolia buds for a client. i always think it’s funny when i’m asked to draw something that i ordinarily wouldn’t draw . . . it often ends up looking like it wasn’t me who drew it !

the sweet job.

i was commissioned by recchiuti confections to make plates for their chocolates display case in the ferry building. each porcelain plate has the name of one of the incredible flavors (these are just some of their AMAZING flavors). wilma was the project manager on this job and hoping there would be chocolates at the end of the tunnel.

et voilà ! she was RIGHT. this is the box of chocolates they gave us when they picked up their order. i’m eating ONE a DAY and savoring each bite of these amazing delicacies.

fifty – 50.

i was commissioned to make party favors for a big 50 year birthday party. i made fallen porcelain leaves . . . each one formed by hand. i thought this would be an elegant way to mark this magnificent milestone.
