Christmas Fondue, 2005
Oil on linen, 2' x 2'
December 24, 2004, By Christmas Eve, we were thinking once again of fondue, the perfect winter meal. So after we went to St. Thomas for carols, and stopped by to see the Rockfeller Christmas Tree, we came home for an elaborate fondue dinner. I attempt to capture these moments and the lushness of the time in the portrait of the meal. The paintings are about bounty and the desire for love and good times and abundance. The documentation of these moments is the acknowledgement and thankfulness for this gift of friends, family, love. They are also a response to the chaos of life; those things that are beyond our control. Within the two-foot square, is the opportunity to celebrate that which is good and at peace, a small piece of the world that is in harmony.
