I love being a member of the CSA at Red Earth Farm because I every week I get tons of beautiful (and delicious) food -- like these stunning spring onions that were just begging to be painted.
Speaking of food—and as someone who paints food basically every day—I want to share this with you. I rarely "endorse" things on my blog, but I'm too excited about it to not share.
I recently completed this 30-day online Raw Food course and it is, by far, one of the most fun, rewarding, and enjoyable things I've ever done. I had been curious about a raw food diet for a long time (for health reasons), but was nervous about my lack of knowledge about raw food & proper nutrition, and also how much work it might be to eat that way (I have never been much of a kitchen-guru).
If you're curious, I encourage you to check it out (their next course starts soon). It is obviously still new for me, but I can say that I am already seeing first-hand the amazing health and spiritual benefits of a raw vegan lifestyle. I am inspired, I need a lot less sleep, I have more energy than I know what to do with, I am so excited about food, and I feel physically amazing.
And what I want to begin to write about here is something that I didn't expect would happen: all of this energy and excitement is actually spilling over into my daily painting practice—in the ways that I qualitatively relate to my painting subjects. It is especially humbling and inspiring after all these years of painting fruit and vegetables every day. It's complex, nuanced, and a big topic for me, so I'll be writing more about this soon.
Finally, this all relates to the amazing place I recently visited in Arizona (other than Ajo) called the Tree of Life. More on that soon, too.
P.S. This was my own 100% completely unsolicited/unaffiliated post about 30 Days Raw.
