My kitchen is just an extension of my art studio. For me it's the same process. I paint and sculpt with a world of delicious flavors and spice. Food is as visual as art and presentation is simply essential. I love cooking for my wife. Lucky for me, she equally enjoys it. Casa Serendipity is a place we call home. It just happens to be our favorite restaurant as well.
Yesterday I dished up a gorgeous frittata made with potato, spinach, cheddar, cilantro, and pinches of Sullivan's Pond Farm goat cheese. I topped it with a splash of Herdez Salsa Casera and grated parmesan. Each plate was complimented with roasted asparagus with garlic and olive oil, and french bread medallions baked with fresh squeezed lemon, olive oil, and parmesan. Our dinner was fab and balanced with good conversation, a couple of flickering votives, and a pair of good puppies waiting for their post dinner nibbles.
Life is that damn tasty. Serve it up.

I caught this morning view while waiting for the campus library to open. The break of light was the cusp of a new day.

Here's another capture from my sunrise view looking east, taken from behind the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart on the VCU campus.

This pinhole view looking west towards the Biggs water tower has a remarkable sense of calm.
This morning I received word that a dear friend of mine lost all of her belongings to a house fire soon into the new year. She wasn't physically harmed, but she lost everything except for a few pieces of clothing.
Thanks in advance for your good wishes and prayers.

This is a photographic detail from a mixed media and assemblage painting I did a number of years ago. Pearls and Decadence is from my searching truths series.

A simple view from the hallway that leads me back to my desk. The stairwell offers an exit to the alley and urban humanity.
My desk offers me a playground of fantastic computer graphic design, filmmaking, and photographic tools; an endless cup of coffee; and earbuds for all of my hours of favorite online radio station listening.
By choice, I rarely use the exit.

It was a day of happiness. A day of smiles. A day of blessings. It was one of those kinda days.
