Title: “Tools of the Trade – II”
Medium: Oil on Panel
Dimensions: 6″x6″

I have a ton of little objects around my studio. I am intimate with this knowledge after unpacking for what seems to be weeks. Every paint brush, every tube of paint, every pen and pencil. There’s just a lot of “stuff”. The trick is good organizational skills, which apparently I have to force myself to do. Several years ago I was interviewing for a job and they gave me a phone interview with a psychological exam. You know the kind where they fit you into four boxes and determine if you are a good hire based on “known” performers of that position. It was a bit nerve wracking at first, but I’ve done several of them since and I love to see the results and match them up against my own perception. One of the tests came back and said I had terrible organizational skills. I was shocked that they could determine that from a phone conversation, and never was there a direct question about my organizational capabilities – but they were dead on. They wanted to hire me anyway so I guess it wasn’t a deal breaker. Ever since then I’ve been acutely aware of my apparent weakness and compensate by making a direct effort to be organized.

While I was organizing my minutia, I found something intriguing, and this was it: A small container of medium (my own special recipe – ha ha) and a paint brush, balanced in an unnatural way. I thought it made an interesting and dramatic composition.

Title: “Iron Chef”
Medium: Oil on Panel
Dimensions: 12″x12″x1.5″

I love to watch a chef prepare food. They are always so intense, and completely focused on the tasks at hand. Not only when they are cooking but also when they are plating. It’s as if they concentrate so much on the plate and how things are placed, they could sear a hole clear through it with their eyes. If there is an open kitchen, I always look in to see what’s going on. So much energy and organized chaos. After watching Iron Chef on TV I mentioned to my husband – I wonder how my paintings would turn out if I painted with that much energy. I’ll have to try it sometime!

We had an opportunity to attend a local Iron Chef competition, and they allowed me to take some pictures of the process. All in all there were about 8-10 chefs in the kitchen, divided into two teams. They prepared and plated we walked from one kitchen set up to the other. It was great fun we tasted, and rated!
