Sausages!

My food posts get more response than my art posts. Perhaps I ought to keep my art writing to the famous food paintings of Wayne Thiebaud, although he doesn't exactly make you hungry for them. I see his cakes and I think more of those very cook storage tanks that used to all be in pastel colors at the oil refinery. I have often thought that I would like to go over and paint those tanks, but I can't seem to find a vantage point that I can spend some time at.

-Uh, boss, we got a guy here drawing detailed pictures of the tanks. Should we book him?

Anyway, in normal form, biscuits and gravy (a sausage related post, certainly), has attracted some interest, along with the suggestion that I sample the stuffed casings found in Pennsylvania. The Quaker State, of course, has a great reputation for pork products, and it has been years since I have been there. The last time I was there I was canoing the border with New Jersey, and I don't think I ate any sausages. Of course we brought a picnic lunch and ate dinner back in Summit, so I don't think I really ate anything from Pennsylvania that trip.

Making sausage is fun, and I highly recommend it, even if you are in an area with great sausage to be found.

And art...

I am working on a little reflection on the diagonal line in Diebenkorn. Come back for the fun. It might just be a Friday Afternoon Sermon!
