Art & Palate

Going from discovering an Australian blogs to Australian artists who paint food images…These artists featured in the book The Artist’s Lunch also have submitted recipes for this opulent book.

Here’s a fantastic painting of Quinces by Jeffery Smart.

And the cover of the book is equally as splendid — a feast for the eyes! That rooster’s tail feathers could be angel hair pasta.

I like the artist, Salvatore Zofrea’s quote, “I see the dish on the table as the link that brings everyone together to become one.”

Here’s a blog to check out, Feasting on Art. I like the way it’s set up to pair artwork with actual recipes. Very creative and appetizing.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
