Day 25: “Summer in My Kitchen", water mixable oil on cradled wood panel, 10x8". I remember when I was married and living in Cairo years ago, on a cold winter's day, a house guest who was staying with us for a few days, brought us crates of mandarins, oranges and strawberries to thank us for our hospitality. As I emptied the crates of luscious fruits onto my marbled countertop, and tried to figure out how to preserve them, I thought how lovely in the midst of Egypt's desert cold winter (citrus season being in full swing during this time), that it felt like a burst of summer sunshine in my kitchen. Ironically, I've eaten more seasonally when I was living in Egypt than anywhere else I've lived. And these mandarins, the last of my citrus fruits series, remind me of the freshness of locally grown fruits and vegetables of Egypt. This is part of my year long project, "This sweet simple existence". During this year of living creatively, I will create small artworks everyday based around objects from my daily life, (mostly food, household items, perhaps the view from my window etc). thereby simply documenting the extraordinary in the ordinary joys of a simple life. This painting will be signed, varnished and ready to hang.
Keep in mind that all computer monitors display color differently, so your painting may differ slightly in color from the image you see onscreen.
Artwork will be carefully packaged using bubble wrap and cardboard and shipped as fragile item for further protection. Please note that if artwork is being shipped overseas (outside of Canada), there is a chance that it might be kept in customs for a couple of weeks. However, this is a risk with any artwork shipped overseas from Canada and should not pose a problem
