Key Ingredients



You probably remember me telling you about the class I taught in Ukiah and the photo I posted of my lovely group. In the long photo of all our paintings, this one was on the far end but now you can see it better! The whole experience was a barrel of fun and now I present you with my finished product. I've done a few tweaks to it since then and though it's larger than many pieces I've posted, I still wanted to include it with my other 'dailies'. I'm all about warm colors (living in the cool climate that I do) and the colorful things that crop up in any kitchen. A bit of trivia now, garlic is at the top of the list of items I'd chop and savor.......
Here's another exciting bit of news. My new website is up and running! It is easy to navigate and there's 
A LOT to see, so check it out at www.erindertner.com .
I've also noticed that my incoming posts don't look as good as the blog itself. You might want to log onto the blog now and then to see what workshops are coming up and other fun information that doesn't seem to come through otherwise. www.erindertner.blogspot.com is that address. Bless you all!

Tomato and Friends



I scavenged around my kitchen for some stuff to present as a paintable still life to my Mendocino students over Memorial Day weekend. Came up with this batch of yummy ingredients for making a great meal, all against a backdrop of warm orange tones. We were happily working indoors out of the rain and made some truly great memories. Wish we could have cooked up something amazing as a finale but we left feeling inspired and energized and hope to gather again to push the paint around.

Secondi Piatti



As promised, here is the second course of that unforgettable Italian dinner that we were treated to. I suppose in reality, this is the second and third courses, but they arrived together and sure make a complete scene don't they? Some kind of heavenly conglomeration of pasta, meat and sauce and a delectable roasted beet salad with that dastardly crusty bread too of course. Even though we were in Golden Colorado, we were transported to Tuscany and ate like kings.

Primi Piatti



My husband and I were treated to an elegant Italian dinner at the home of a wonderful couple that had bought one of my paintings. They had a house guest from Italy during our visit and she was responsible for much of its preparation. It was a long wooden table laden with things that were both pleasing to the eye as well as the palette and we savored every single moment and morsel. This was the first course, or Primi Piatti, prosciutto with melon. Stay tuned as soon I will post the painting I did of the second course!
