One of those, sort of, must have, how did I do without, gadget things for the kitchen. Or rather, the Kamado Joe, in my case. A serious digital thermometer that takes the guess work out of when your dish is ready.

‘Sea Spray’ Oil on canvas 20cmx20cm. Inspired by Yayoi Kusama, from her distinctive Infinity Nets style. Serial repetitions across the canvas, with my finger painting technique. Amazingly therapeutic and a larger work definitely planned.

  • Wow!!!! Jan, Just love your new-look site. Very elegant. Well done! Worth all the rogue e-mails in our InBoxes. 🙂 I’m impressed with your various new offshoots into art styles. Actually loved the Yayoi Kusama-inspired piece a third of the way through!!! Very pleased to hear about your improved blood sugars. Lot to be said about healthy exercise.
