Description
This still-life painting is of something very dear to me, my grandmother's little, well-used, wooden recipe box and the memories that are attached to it. Growing up, she lived right next door, and as you can imagine, we were very close. I spent many an afternoon helping her bake and cook (she patiently endured), so I was very familiar with her spice containers and recipe box full of magically good things to eat. When grandma passed while I was in college, my mother offered me some of those precious things that she knew meant so much to me, amongst them the recipe box and spice containers. I chose to paint the recipe box with the lid open because the first recipe in the box was my favorite...Spanish Cookies. Grandma always had a batch of these ready for the hungry visiting child, and in my opinion, the world would be a better place if everyone had been loved this way. Just in case you thought you could get this recipe anywhere, she had written at the top of the recipe card,"This is not in a cookbook." If you look closely, you will see I included that comment in my painting, written in my dear grandmother's handwriting.
