I didn't know what a Rainier cherry was until I saw these at the farm stand. They're really great colors. Apparently, they are the "cream of the crop." See here.

Becoming a Daily Painter

As many readers are aware, I have frequently been away from my studio over the last few weeks, tending to our Springer Spaniel, Cale, on her journey fighting cancer. This new routine has resulted in opportunities for lots of reading and time to think about all the questions and emails I receive and that I don’t necessarily respond to directly on my blog. When I started this blog almost two years ago, I decided I should focus on painting. Click here to continue reading...

Whoopie Pie

I got this whoopie pie at the Amish farm about an hour outside of Philadelphia where we get our food.

According to Wikipedia, a whoopie pie (alternatively called a gob, black-and-white, or bob) is a baked good made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, sometimes pumpkin cake, with a sweet, creamy frosting sandwiched between them. While considered a New England phenomenon and a Pennsylvania Amish tradition, they are increasingly sold throughout the United States. According to food historians, Amish women would bake these and put them in farmers' lunchboxes. When farmers would find these treats in their lunch, they would shout "whoopie!"

Update on Cale

Thanks, everyone, for the kind emails about Cale! They are very much appreciated. Unfortunately, we got terrible news about her cancer as a result of the tests done on her tumor. Even so, Cale is recovering very well and we remain hopeful. Here's a photo of her primary activity lately (I picked a photo that doesn't show her very large incision on her back right leg, although it does show the stitches under her left eye):

Please keep Cale in your thoughts!
