This illustration was created for the They Cook and Draw holiday recipe contest in affiliation with the Food Network. It's illustrated in gouache and finalized digitally. I created the recipe myself and its's easy to make. I couldn't help but add the reindeer; although, it's not an ingredient in the recipe!

This apple sauce is made in a tagine, the Moroccan heavy clay cooking pot with a cone-shaped dome lid. I love cooking with tagines. If you have a favorite tagine recipe, I would love to hear about it!

The monarch butterfly is in remembrance of Gwen, my English Grandmother, who passed away from bone cancer on Nov. 21, 2010. She was 90 years old and was as fiesty as ever until just a few days before her death. On the Saturday before, a monarch butterfly flew by me. It made me think of her soul, on its way to making its journey to the afterlife. Thanks for taking care of me Grandma! I will love you always.

As you can see, the peacock is a series of random ink spots--rather quite elaborate spots at that. Add feathers and the peacock becomes quite the prancer. If there is a paradise, I imagine it could be a bit quirky and beautiful at the same time.

Little Walking Timb Bomb is from one happenstance ink blot. Antennas, two legs, feet, tail and some mean-looking, shark-like teeth were added. Make of the little fellow what you will but whatever you do, don't put your fingers in his mouth . . . ouch!
