Jam & Spoon






Four Fruits
8 inch x 8 inch on gallery wrapped canvas

So I ask, why does  French Jam taste so good. For one as a Brit I note that its made with real sugar and not not corn syrup. May be it's because the fruit isn't grown in a poly tunnel. Maybe its all that lovely moderate heat that really ripens the berries down there in provence. 

I don't know but you take the lid of that Jar and the smell of fruit just ooozes's out.

Balance No 4





Salt & Pepper

So much for the song it ' It never rains in Southern Califonia" man it pours. The rain has been so bad this week I felt like I was having a bad dream and had awoken and found my self living back in Wigan. The land of the non-existent blue sky. Saying that they do make pretty marvelous pies and those yummy Uncle Joe's mint balls. So perhaps it's forgiven for it's dire weather.....

Simply Sauce


Suspension

6 inch x 6 inch
On gallery wrapped canvas

Do you know hard it is to find glass sauce bottles in the US. Everything seems to be stuck in plastic these days. I was in a fish restaurant and spotted the lovely glass bottle on the table.I asked if I could possibly buy a bottle the manager just laughed. As I was leaving she appeared with a little go box. Inside a lovely glass bottle of HP ketchup. It really is the small things in life.
