Sold
I sold two pieces yesterday! I have mixed emotions about letting go of my art ... I am happy that the paintings are going to new homes, but also very sad to let them go. The two pieces are, Autumnal:

Studio 109 News
Well, it's official: a few of us (about 5 or 6 artists) have formed an artist collective, which we have named Studio 109. I am working on updating the site this week, but you can see the beginning stages here. We are so excited about this new venture, and we are preparing for a big group show in the fall. More details to come!

Noteworthy
Wow, I was blogged! I just came across this blog post about an art and coffee event with artlovemagic last month. Still trying to finish the painting, though.

Lentil Curry
Cooked a modified version of the Lentil Curry recipe from The Classic 1000 Indian Recipes (Classic 1000 Cookbook)
for dinner tonight. Had to leave a couple of things out that I didn't have on hand, but it turned out pretty okay, I think. Definitely would make it again. Very similar to this one I found on recipezaar.com: Red Lentil Curry, except instead of the curry seasoning, I used a combination of turmeric, cinnamon, bay leaves, salt, pepper and garlic.
edited version below
Ingredients
1 cup red lentil (I used brown)
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon oil or butter or margarine (for frying)
1/2 teaspoon mustard (didn't put in this one)
2 teaspoons prepared curry powder (or your own selection of curry spices. mine being 1 teas. turmeric, 3/4 teas. cinnamon, 2 bay leaves, dash of pepper)
1 teaspoon chili powder (not big into spice, so I skipped this one)
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup milk (skipped on this one, too)
1-2 cup water (actually, used 3 cups here)
1 can diced tomatoes
spices that should have been added but didn't: 3 cloves, 1/2" ginger root
Directions
1. Wash lentils several times. Boil in pot of 3 cups water with curry powder or seasonings for 20 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a pot and add chopped onion and garlic.
3. When onion is light brown in colour, add to the lentils.
4. Mix in can of diced tomatos.
5. Simmer until lentils are cooked, adding more water of needed.
6. (opt) Add milk about 5 minutes before removeing pot from the stove. Split peas can be used instead of lentils.
Makes 2-3 servings. Serve with rice.
